Moon Base: serialized in New Worlds April, May & June 1963 - as "Window on the Moon." There was a British hardcover (1964) and paperback (1967) - this was the only American edition until Wildside reprinted it in 2002 (with a $14.95 cover price.) Every book appearance has the title Moon Base.

Felix Larsen had been sent to Luna Station to investigate "something odd on the Moon." He is drugged asleep as soon as he arrives, making him doubly careful because now he is sure there is someone aware of his secret mission - waiting for the critical moment.
