Robots searching for answers, invaders arriving from beyond Earth, dangerous worlds waiting to be explored, and ordinary people confronting the impossible fill Lost Sci-Fi Books 101 thru 120, a collection of twenty vintage science fiction short stories from the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s.
Isaac Asimov takes us into the distant past in Day of the Hunters, where a casual conversation about dinosaurs leads somewhere no one expects. Harry Harrison delivers two very different visions of the future with The Robot Who Wanted to Know and Arm of the Law, while Robert Silverberg brings us Monsters That Once Were Men and The Guest Rites. Philip K. Dick adds the strange and unsettling Of Withered Apples, a story that turns an ordinary encounter into something increasingly difficult to explain.
The collection reaches far beyond Earth. Paul Ernst opens the journey with The Planetoid of Peril, James Blish takes us to another world in King of the Hill, and Charles L. Fontenay offers Z and The Martian Shore. Murray Leinster contributes Tanks and Invasion, two stories from an author whose science fiction career stretched across decades.
You’ll also discover Fredric Brown’s Hall of Mirrors, Frederik Pohl’s The Hated, Algis Budrys’ The Barbarians, Henry Slesar’s A Message From Our Sponsor, Ross Rocklynne’s Distress Signal, Sol Boren’s Your Servant Sir, John Bernard Daley’s The Man Who Liked Lions, and Lester del Rey’s …And It Comes Out Here.
From Asimov, Dick, Silverberg, Harrison, Pohl, Brown, Leinster, Budrys and more, Lost Sci-Fi Books 101 thru 120 offers twenty imaginative journeys through the wonderfully unpredictable worlds of classic science fiction.
