Lost Sci-Fi Books 221 thru 225 brings together five remarkable stories from Fredric Brown, Clark Ashton Smith, Henry Kuttner, Edward W. Ludwig, and William Oberfield. Alien worlds beckon, strange forces threaten, and survival depends on facing dangers unlike anything found on Earth.
Arena by Fredric Brown pits one human against an alien opponent with far more than two lives at stake. Isolated from their fleets, the two combatants must fight a battle that will determine which civilization survives.
The City of Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith opens a gateway to a breathtaking alien realm dominated by an enormous city and the mysterious singing flame at its heart. Its beauty is mesmerizing—but those drawn toward it may find the attraction impossible to resist.
The Eater of Souls by Henry Kuttner ventures into a strange and dangerous world where an ancient menace waits, delivering the imaginative adventure and dark fantasy that made Kuttner’s early fiction so distinctive.
Inheritance by Edward W. Ludwig explores what can be passed from one generation to another when the legacy involved is far more unusual than property or wealth.
Escape From Pluto by William Oberfield carries the adventure to the distant reaches of the solar system, where simply reaching Pluto is one challenge—and getting away may prove considerably harder.
From a duel that could decide humanity’s fate to an irresistible alien city and a desperate struggle on distant Pluto, Lost Sci-Fi Books 221 thru 225 captures the wonder, danger, and boundless imagination of vintage science fiction.
Five stories. Five journeys far beyond the familiar.
