| Summary | "Raiders of the Second Moon" by Gene Ellerman is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The narrative explores themes of adventure and memory loss set in a fantastical environment beyond Earth's celestial body, wherein a strange second moon named Sekk is home to a variety of human-like species and mythic creatures. The plot centers around the character Noork, who grapples with his lost memory while navigating the perils of this alien world. In the story, Noork, who has been stripped of his past, finds himself among the inhabitants of Sekk, particularly the golden-skinned people and the wild Vasads, a more primal race. He encounters Sarna, a captive golden-skinned girl, and learns of the oppressive regime of the Misty Ones, who are priests residing on a sinister island. As Noork sets out to rescue Sarna from a planned sacrifice, he discovers his own identity as Captain Dietrich, a pilot in pursuit of a nefarious scientist. The tale unfolds with action and intrigue as Noork and his allies confront various adversaries, ultimately leading to a climactic confrontation with both the Misty Ones and the villainous Von Mark, revealing a deeper connection to his own past and goals for the future.
