Strange worlds, altered realities, alien landscapes, and futures where nothing is quite what it seems await in Lost Sci-Fi Books 81 thru 100, a collection of twenty vintage science fiction short stories from some of the genre’s most imaginative authors.
Philip K. Dick leads the collection with six unforgettable stories. In Human Is, a woman begins to wonder what really happened to the husband who returned home a changed man. Adjustment Team pulls back the curtain on a world that may be quietly rearranged while no one is looking. You’ll also hear Meddler, Exhibit Piece, Strange Eden, and The Crawlers, each offering the unpredictable ideas and startling turns that made Dick one of science fiction’s most celebrated authors.
Frederik Pohl takes you into two very different futures with Let the Ants Try and Asteroid of the Damned. Fritz Leiber contributes the wonderfully unusual Nice Girl With 5 Husbands and A Pail of Air, the memorable story of a family struggling to stay alive after Earth has been torn away from the Sun. Robert Silverberg’s Six Frightened Men sends explorers into a deadly mystery, while Harry Harrison delivers a missing spacecraft and an unusual investigation in The Misplaced Battleship.
The collection also features The Luckiest Man Alive! by William Morrison, Dust Unto Dust by Lyman D. Hinckley, A Traveler in Time by August Derleth, $1,000 a Plate by Jack McKenty, The Other Now by Murray Leinster, Rabbits Have Long Ears by Lawrence F. Willard, Willie’s Planet by Mike Ellis, and The Incredible Invasion by George O. Smith.
From Philip K. Dick, Frederik Pohl, Fritz Leiber, Robert Silverberg, Harry Harrison, Murray Leinster and more, Lost Sci-Fi Books 81 thru 100 brings together twenty journeys into the remarkable imagination of vintage science fiction.
