His fearless pursuit of a trail of clues brings him face to face with a familiar villain (from "The Black Isle") and leads to a desperate race to save the life of the son of the local Emir. The bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson make a trademark appearances when they accidentally ingest some mysterious pills. In 'Destination Moon' and 'Explorers on the Moon', a two-part adventure, Tintin and Captain Haddock are summoned to the Balkan state of Syldavia to join Professor Calculus' rocket project. Although dogged by sabotage attempts, the Moon rocket eventually lifts off, taking Tintin, Snowy, the reluctant astronaut Captain Haddock, and the Professor on a dangerous voyage to the Moon. On the surface of the Moon, the sabotage plot will reappear in even more lethal form. The explorers will race a dwindling oxygen supply back to the safety of Earth."--
