Moon of Treason is a science fiction short story written by Emmett McDowell as part of the Planet stories magazine.
Clyde Vickers shuffled awkwardly down the gangplank. After two years on Jupiter he felt buoyant as a toy balloon in the mild gravity of Earth's satellite. Every step he expected to go sailing over the heads of the other engers—up, up into the vast booming reaches of Luna City's airlock.

He craned his neck, peering over their heads to see what had caused the bottleneck. An officer of the ISP, in a blue uniform, was standing at the foot of the gangplank, examining ports. Vickers cursed under his breath.
