Lost Sci-Fi Books 176 thru 180 - Five Lost Sci-Fi Short Stories from the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s
The Nameless Something by Murray Leinster - Bud Gregory was something there isn't any word for. With bulging eyes the truck-driver saw the rattletrap vehicle swerve out over space, until only its inner wheels were on the road. The Gifts of Asti by Andre Norton - She was the guardian of the worlds, but HER world was dead. Encounter in the Dawn by Arthur C. Clarke - A lot of glib fiction has been written about life on other planets , with space ships dropping down among alien races, zap guns decimating the enemy, while Our Hero goes batting off after a Beautiful Princess. But Mr. Clarke takes the realistic approach and gets better results than anything by the boom-boom boys. The Foxholes of Mars by Fritz Leiber - The wars of the far future will be fought with giant spaceships, but it will still take the infantryman to hold down the planets. And some of the thoughts bred in the foxholes of Mars or Alpha Centauri Duo or Rigel Tres will be fully as bitter as some of those dredged up in the foxholes of Earth. The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce - A sordid tale of jealousy and murder. He suspected his wife was having an affair and unleashed a plan to discover the truth. Would the truth destroy his family and lead him down the path to insanity?
