Lost SciFi story

grandad_rufus ๐Ÿšซ

What I remember:

Alien machines (?), (Don't think Personalia) Hiding on dark side of the moon. They contact us when we develop FTL drive. We eventually destroy the alien race that had attacked several different civilisations.

Sorry can't remember more but it was on SOL or one of the sister sites.

Not the same, but Time by John Wales, and Mutineer's Moon by David Weber, have similar plots.

Actually I am beginning to wonder if this is one of the Lander ships / Personalia stories :(

I remember a story line where sparta was mentioned with space ships involved. Also it may be one of the Swarm stories. I can not remember the names of individual stories however this may jog someone else's memory

There was a section of the Tefler's Three Square Meals that deal with a big ship on the dark side, wasn't there?

No. It was a giant cannon buried under the surface of the Moon.

Hiding on dark side of the moon.

Technically, the moon doesn't have a dark side in the sense that phrase is normally used. It's tide locked to the Earth, not the Sun.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

@samis

I thought that the '...all dark' quote was from one of their roadies?

@grandad_rufus

It was (for those interested) Landership by Gordon Jackson which I downloaded from Amazon as not on SOL

That is indeed the story(sorry
just read this post). He condensed and expanded several of his stories and published them. There are still several very good stories in the series on SOL.
