Set against the backdrop of a dying Earth, the story unfolds primarily on the Moon, where the last remnants of humanity grapple with conflicting ideologies amidst the threat of extinction. The narrative explores themes of power, survival, and the complexity of human relationships in a futuristic world torn by war. The plot centers around a violent conflict between various factions representing different political ideologies, notably the Soviet North American forces and the Axis powers, as they vie for control over critically important communication technology known as "bonephones." The central characters, Colonel Scone and Broward, navigate this chaos, forming a reluctant alliance while working to thwart the Axis from gaining control. As they confront both external enemies and internal ideological divides, personal stakes intertwine with the broader struggle for survival. Ultimately, the novel presents a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's resilience and the intricacies of governance in a desperate bid for freedom in a new, alien world.
