About this ebook
America was beset with a widespread polio epidemic in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Milton Jeffries, was diagnosed with the disease in his early teens, when it became evident from his coughing and difficulty breathing, that the disease was advanced and life-threatening. His mother rushed him to a polio treatment facility, where he spent the next several years stretched out in an iron lung. Many polio victims of that era spent the greater portion of their lives in iron lungs – Many of them never escaped. Milton was one of the luckier ones. This is his story of how he ultimately broke free from his iron prison to travel to a lunar base on the far side of the moon where construction on an intergalactic space ark was underway. Evidence from the ruins of an ancient alien space ship that had crashed in the distant past revealed the startling truth – We are not the first to visit the moon!
