Travel from the deserts of Mars to distant worlds, dangerous futures, and strange corners of the human mind in Lost Sci-Fi Books 61 thru 80, a collection of twenty vintage science fiction short stories from the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
This collection brings together some of the biggest names in classic science fiction alongside talented authors whose stories deserve to be rediscovered. Ray Bradbury takes us from the unsettling future of A Little Journey to the hazardous voyage of Jonah of the Jove-Run and the unforgettable arrival of Rocket Summer. Philip K. Dick is represented by four remarkable stories: Tony and the Beetles, Piper in the Woods, The Skull, and The Golden Man—tales filled with strange encounters, dangerous abilities, and futures where appearances can be dangerously misleading.
Robert Silverberg delivers two very different adventures with Rescue Mission and The Inquisitor, while Fredric Brown brings his unmistakable imagination to And the Gods Laughed. Harlan Ellison’s Glow Worm adds another distinctive voice to a collection that ranges across planets, spacecraft, alien encounters, and futures gone spectacularly wrong.
You’ll also discover The Monster That Threatened the Universe by Russ Winterbotham, Madmen of Mars by Erik Fennel, Rat Race by George O. Smith, Space-Lane of No-Return and Invader From Infinity by George Whittington, Alien Equivalent by Richard R. Smith, The Flight of the Eagle by Alfred Coppel, Prison of a Billion Years by C. H. Thames, and Day of Wrath by Bjarne Kirchhoff.
Twenty stories. Twenty journeys into the imagination. From Bradbury, Dick, Silverberg, Brown, Ellison and more, Lost Sci-Fi Books 61 thru 80 is packed with the kind of inventive storytelling that made vintage science fiction unforgettable—and continues to make these stories worth discovering today.
