Of all the irksome, frustrating, maddening discoveries—was there no way of keeping it discovered? Forever by Robert Sheckley. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Robert Sheckley has been a frequent contributor to our podcast and there are still many of his stories to narrate in the future. When this tale appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine in February 1959, the man who was given credit for it was Ned Lang, because another Robert Sheckley story, Time Killer, was in that issue.

That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.We've featured Robert Sheckley's work quite often on the podcast.

The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It was—which was just the trouble! Project Hush by William Tenn and What thrill is there in going out among the stars if coming back means bitter loneliness? Homesick by Lynn Venable. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Until today, we had never narrated a story by William Tenn—though, in truth, William Tenn never actually wrote a story. How is that possible? Because William Tenn was the pen name of Philip Klass.Born in London in 1920, Klass moved to New York City before his second birthday. He grew up in Brooklyn, served in the Army during World War II, and later spent 22 years as a professor at Penn State University.Klass wrote over 60 short stories, beginning in 1946 with Alexander the Bait, which appeared in Astounding Science Fiction. Most of his work was published during the 1950s. Turn to page 100 in the February 1954 publication, Galaxy Science Fiction, Project Hush by William Tenn…Our second story on the podcast today comes from Lynn Venable. Though she wrote only seven stories, each one left a lasting impression. This was her first, published in the December 1952 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. We will discover our story on page 73, Homesick by Lynn Venable…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, It was only a slingshot, but it hurled more death than a thousand-pound bomb.

We conclude our coverage of The Stars Like Dust ―, with chapters 15 through 22. That corresponds to part 3 of Tyrann as published in The March 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. "We the People… Do Ordain and Establish this Podcast." As we rejoin our heroes The USS Enterprise, trailer firmly attached by tractor beam, is approaching planet Omega 4. There they find the derelict USS Exeter in orbit. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Galloway beam over to the Exeter where the entire crew has mysteriously been turned into common rock salt, just like you can buy from any neighborhood hardware store. No, wait. I'm confused. That's the "Omega Glory," S2E23 of Star Trek. I swear, sometimes these Star Trek references just write themselves. Anyway, the beginning of the episode is actually pretty good, but the ending is very, very dumb. So dumb that it lands it in the "So bad you have to see it to believe it" category. Unfortunately for the episode, people only seem to remember that ending. To Asimov's credit, we know that he did not like that ending, Strangely he didn't like it even some 15 years or so before the episode aired. How does that work? I guess you'll have to listen to our episode. Meanwhile, being of a certain age myself, I can't seem to get this little earworm out of my head. Let's all sing along! "Ee Plannista, enor durtofo amo orper fectyoo nion..." Everybody!!

Originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, July 1951, the story “Pen Pal” by Stephen Marlowe introduces us to Matilda, a young woman looking for love by submitting letters to a literary magazine. That's something much more common when the story was published in 1951 and probably pretty close to using a dating app these days. When she thinks she's found the love of her life, things get really strange.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Pen Pal” by Stephen Marlowe: https://amzn.to/3AnH3m9= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

d novel! Join us for The Stars, Like Dust—! In this episode, we sift through chapters one through eight. The Stars, Like Dust is book #003 in the Asimov canon. That's a little misleading. Book #002 I, Robot is a fix-up; most of it had been written years before. This was the second time the Good Doctor sat down to write a book and he intended to write a Novel with a capital "N." He wasn't having a good time of it. Walter Bradbury, Asimov's editor, had liked Pebble in the Sky and wanted a follow-up but he also wanted an outline and a couple of sample chapters. Bradbury rejected the first two proposals. John Jenkins of AsimovReviews.net put it this way. "...now that he was a Novelist, Asimov was thinking he needed to write like one and was getting carried away. Rather than his sticking to his usual sparse prose, he was getting distinctly florid, and he needed to tone things down." That's what comes from trying to write a Novel with a capital "N" I suppose. To make matters worse, when Galaxy Science Fiction bought the right to serialize the novel Horace Gold insisted on a subplot that Asimov really didn't care for. But now it was time to sit down and write, which is what our good friend Isaac does best. Join us to see how the book turned out! This reading coincides with the installment published in the January 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction under the title Tyrann.

"La Séptima Víctima" es un cuento de ciencia ficción del escritor estadounidense Robert Sheckley publicado originalmente en Galaxy Science Fiction en abril de 1953. En 1957 fue adaptado para la obra de radio X Minus One de NBC como "La Séptima Víctima". Fue revisado en gran medida para la película italiana de 1965 La décima víctima. Sheckley publicó una novelización de la película con ese título al año siguiente, y luego siguió con dos secuelas, Victim Prime de 1987 y Hunter/Victim de 1988. La historia trata sobre una sociedad futura que ha eliminado las guerras importantes al permitir que miembros de la sociedad inclinados a la violencia se unan a The Big Hunt, un juego de caza humano . Esto elimina a aproximadamente una cuarta parte de la población que de otro modo sería un peligro. La historia sigue a un cazador experimentado que está emocionado de recibir su última misión, pero se enfrenta a la preocupación de que algo anda muy mal con la tarea.

The essential requirements of a first-class triggerman are two: that he know how to pull the trigger–and when not to! Triggerman By J. F. Bone, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Jesse Franklin Bone was born in Tacoma Washington in 1916. Before he was an author Bone was a veterinarian, and a professor of veterinary medicine, served in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel and retiring in 1976. His first short story, Survival Type, didn't appear in Galaxy Science Fiction until he was 41, in 1957.About 30 short stories and 5 novels later his 21 year career as an author came to an end.

Three months later it could be found in the Dell Paperback The Year's Greatest Science Fiction and Fantasy: 4th Annual Volume and almost 30 other publications around the world.Which would lead you to believe that this is a really good story. It is, so much so that it was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1959. Bone's adventure can be found on page 47, Triggerman By J. F.

This is a special episode with a story that we'll be using soon in my other podcast, “Auditory Anthology” which comes out with new episodes every week (https://www.auditoryanthology.com). My partner at “Auditory Anthology”, Keith Conrad, curates stories from old sci-fi magazines, journals, books, and radio shows, and I voice the scripts. As much as I love old time radio, being able to tell these classic sci-fi stories from the 50s is a real treat for me. This story is one I actually heard many years ago on Old Time Radio, and the first time I heard it I absolutely fell in love with the story. So when I saw that Keith had sent me this one to narrate, I was beyond excited. The story is entitled “Prime Difference”, written by Alan Nourse. It was first published in Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in June 1957. It's dated of course, assuming android technology would be available in the late 1960s. Well it wasn't – and it still isn't just yet. But listen to this story and you tell me if you don't think it's prophetic, even if they did guess wrong on the year!SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…Auditory Anthology podcast: https://www.auditoryanthology.com“Prime Difference” is a work of fiction, written by Alan Nourse – originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1957: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/51321/51321-h/51321-h.htmWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.

This could be a Christmas story. If it is, it shows one way Peace on Earth can be attained! Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Dean Evans makes his debut on the podcast. Evans wasn't his real name, that would be George Kull. Couldn't find his date of birth or where he was born but we know he lived in California. The only thing I could find about him was these words from author Frederik Pohl who said, ““There was a fellow named George Kull in California…who wrote pretty good light mysteries, but he wrote them in enormous volume, and I couldn't sell them as fast as he wrote them. He was starving to death, and he was into me for like three thousand dollars when I wrote him off.” Kull, as Dean Evans, published 12 short stories from 1951 to 1953. His first story can be found on page 113 in Galaxy Science Fiction in December 1951, Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He was dangerously insane.
