Five remarkable science fiction stories from five celebrated authors take you from rain-soaked cities and strange laboratories to worlds where humanity itself may no longer be what it once was.
In The Velvet Glove, Harry Harrison delivers a sharp tale of machines, men, and a future where appearances can be dangerously misleading. Robert Silverberg’s The Day the Monsters Broke Loose turns an ordinary situation into something wildly unexpected when creatures that should never have been there suddenly become impossible to ignore.
Murray Leinster brings his trademark imagination to The Life-Work of Professor Muntz, where one man’s remarkable achievement opens the door to consequences no one anticipated. In The Men Return, Jack Vance takes us to an Earth transformed by forces that have rewritten the rules of reality, leaving its survivors struggling to understand a world where reason itself can no longer be trusted.
Finally, Alfred Coppel’s The Hills of Home carries us far from Earth, where an isolated human outpost faces a mystery hidden in an alien landscape—and what waits beyond those distant hills may change everything.
Lost Sci-Fi Books 471 thru 475 brings together Harry Harrison, Robert Silverberg, Murray Leinster, Jack Vance, and Alfred Coppel in a collection filled with bizarre discoveries, dangerous encounters, unexpected twists, and imaginative worlds from science fiction’s past.
