Fifteen-year-old Dick Murdock travels aboard the African Star to the Moon, to meet his father Dr. Paul Murdock-Chief Astronomer at the Lunar Observatory.

En route, the African Star finds the hulk of a spaceship hanging in space, blasted open with all hands killed. It's the work of space pirates, led by the malevolent Basilisk!

Dick applies himself to uncovering who-or what-the Basilisk is? The stakes are enormously high; while prospecting for lunar tourmalines high on a lunar cliff with Crazy Sam Baxter, someone tries to kill him with a giant falling rock.

And that's just the beginning. Dick risks everything to protect his father, and save the life of everyone at the Observatory.

In a dark, lonely cavern far below the lunar surface-Dick will confront the Basilisk. And no-one is there to help...
