あらすじ
Through the treason of a handful of men, contact between Earth & the Moon had become a nightmare. The world became the tool of the Lunarians, whose plundering and cruelty reduced thieving nations to poverty stricken wastelands. The Moon Men is the astounding story of that tragedy, & of the exploits of Julian, the human who dared fight for freedom. It's the story also of Red Hawk, Julian's descendant, the nomad who attempted to bring the struggle to its final desperate conclusion.

作品考察・見どころ
バロウズが描く本作は、文明の崩壊と再生を問う重厚な叙事詩です。異星の支配下で世代を超え受け継がれる「自由への意志」が、ジュリアンの血脈を通して力強く綴られる点が最大の魅力です。単なる冒険譚に留まらない、圧政に対する人間の尊厳を懸けた魂のドラマが、読者の胸を熱く焦がします。 映像版では月人の造形や世界の視覚美が際立ちますが、原作ならではの心理描写や文化変遷の機微は、活字でこそ真の深みに到達します。映像の迫力とテキストが紡ぐ哲学的な思索を併せて味わうことで、この壮大なサーガは完成するのです。巨匠が遺した不屈の精神を、今こそ目撃してください。
