520 _a"When the Moon Fell" by Morrison Colladay is a science fiction novel published in the late 1920s. The narrative is set against the backdrop of a catastrophic event that alters the very fabric of human civilization, stemming from the moon being thrown off its orbit towards Earth. The story follows the experiences of the protagonist as the world confronts an impending doom, and the impact of this calamity on human life and resilience. The plot centers on a narrator who, after narrowly escaping the initial devastation while in Labrador, witnesses the gradual unraveling of society as people react to the threat posed by the incoming moon. Along with a companion named Jim, they navigate a landscape transformed by disasters such as tidal waves and earthquakes, initially surviving in a plane and later dealing with the aftermath of the moon's collision with Earth. As they discover a new settlement in Greenland post-catastrophe, they learn the fate of humanity and embark on rebuilding civilization amidst the remnants of a changed world, all while contemplating future explorations of what remains of their former planet.
