Lost Sci-Fi Books 181 thru 185 brings together five memorable stories from Lynn Venable, Murray Leinster, Fredric Brown, Mack Reynolds, and Isaac Asimov. From one man’s desperate wish for solitude to dangerous discoveries and strange new ways of living, these stories showcase the imagination and surprises of vintage science fiction.
Time Enough at Last by Lynn Venable follows a man who wants nothing more than enough peace and quiet to read. When catastrophe suddenly gives him all the solitude he could ever want, he believes his greatest wish has finally come true—but fate has one more surprise waiting.
The Deadly Dust by Murray Leinster turns an extraordinary scientific threat into a race against danger, as something seemingly insignificant proves capable of terrifying consequences.
Happy Ending by Fredric Brown and Mack Reynolds begins where many stories would end. The adventure is supposedly over, but discovering what comes afterward proves that a happy ending depends very much on who is telling the story.
Living Space by Isaac Asimov imagines a solution to humanity’s need for more room by looking beyond the boundaries of our own reality. It seems like the perfect answer—until people discover they may not be as alone as they thought.
Jokester by Isaac Asimov asks an irresistible question: where do jokes actually come from? When a brilliant researcher applies scientific analysis to humor, the answer he uncovers is far stranger than anyone could have imagined.
From post-apocalyptic solitude and deadly science to parallel worlds and the mysterious origin of laughter, Lost Sci-Fi Books 181 thru 185 delivers five inventive journeys from the golden age of science fiction.
