Charles Willard Diffin was a prolific contributor to Astounding Stories in the early 1930s, specialising in vigorous interplanetary adventure. Brood of the Dark Moon (1931) is a sequel to his earlier serial Dark Moon, continuing the story of its heroes on a mysterious captured satellite. Diffin writes in the breathless style of the pulp era — danger arrives fast, the stakes are planetary, and the heroes respond with action and ingenuity.

Readers who enjoy the early interplanetary romances of Edmond Hamilton or the space-opera sweep of E. E. Doc Smith will find Diffin’s high-energy storytelling a satisfying example of the genre at its most unrestrained.
