From The Earth to the Moon Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Written greater than a century before man landed on the moon, this classic adventure tale has proved to be one of Jules Verne’s most prophetic. It is also a forerunner of today’s science fiction.

On the close from the Civil War, the members of the elite Baltimore Gun Club find themselves unemployed and bored. Finally, their chief executive, Impey Barbicane, proposes a new project: build a gun big enough to start a rocket to the moon. But when a daring volunteer elevates the objective to a “manned” flight, one man’s wish turns into an international space race.

This is a story of rollicking action, humor, and vibrant imagination, filled with both satire and scientific insight.
