Lost Sci-Fi Books 121 thru 140: Twenty Vintage Sci-Fi Adventures Through Time, Space, Strange Worlds and Dangerous Futures

A society where murder has become entertainment, robots programmed to protect humanity at any cost, mysterious passages into other worlds, and astronauts discovering that the darkness may not be empty await in Lost Sci-Fi Books 121 thru 140, featuring twenty vintage science fiction stories from the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s.

Robert Sheckley opens the collection with Seventh Victim, a future where legalized hunting has transformed killing into a carefully regulated game. He returns with Watchbird, the celebrated story of machines created to prevent murder—and what happens when those machines begin making their own decisions. Isaac Asimov delivers the Cold War tension of Let’s Get Together and the wonderfully different Christmas on Ganymede, where keeping alien workers happy creates a problem no one expected.

Philip K. Dick contributes The Turning Wheel, Survey Team, and Progeny, while Arthur C. Clarke takes us into two very different mysteries with The Wall of Darkness and A Walk in the Dark. Ray Bradbury ventures onto a strange world in The Creatures That Time Forgot, and Clifford D. Simak imagines an unusual answer to growing old in Second Childhood.

The journey continues with Robert Silverberg’s Planet of the Angry Giants, Harry Harrison’s The Repairman, Jack Vance’s A Practical Man’s Guide, George O. Smith’s Home is the Spaceman, Frank Belknap Long’s The Man From Time, Edward W. Ludwig’s Spacemen Die At Home, and Paul Ernst’s Escape.

You’ll also travel back to the imagination of H. G. Wells with The Plattner Story and The Door in the Wall, two remarkable tales in which the familiar world suddenly opens onto something extraordinary.

From Sheckley, Dick, Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury, Simak, Wells, Vance, Harrison and more, Lost Sci-Fi Books 121 thru 140 brings together twenty memorable stories and four decades of science fiction imagination in one collection.
