Moon of Treason is a science fiction short story written by Emmett McDowell as part of the Planet stories magazine.

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.
