Lost Sci-Fi Books 141 thru 160: 20 Vintage Science Fiction Stories of Mars, Space Travel and Worlds Beyond Imagination

A hunter stalked across the surface of Mars, a criminal with an impossible plan, a tiny mouse determined to reach the stars, and distant worlds where the rules of Earth no longer apply await in Lost Sci-Fi Books 141 thru 160, featuring twenty vintage science fiction stories from legendary authors and forgotten favorites.

Philip K. Dick begins the collection with Souvenir and returns with Upon the Dull Earth, two very different stories filled with the strange ideas that made his work unforgettable. Clifford D. Simak is represented by three tales: Message From Mars, The Call From Beyond, and The World That Couldn’t Be. Poul Anderson takes us to the Red Planet for the tense pursuit of Duel on Syrtis, while Harry Harrison introduces one of science fiction’s most famous rogues in The Stainless Steel Rat.

Fredric Brown brings humor and adventure to The Star Mouse, Robert Sheckley offers the haunting Beside Still Waters, and Robert Silverberg contributes Hero From Yesterday and The Thing Behind Hell’s Door. Ray Bradbury’s The Shape of Things turns a family’s joyous occasion into something they could never have anticipated, while Arthur C. Clarke’s No Morning After imagines an extraordinary warning arriving on Earth—and the unlikely man who receives it.

The collection also features Isaac Asimov’s Someday, Jack Williamson’s The Cosmic Express, Murray Leinster’s The Gregory Circle Chapter, Evan Hunter’s Welcome Martians, Frank M. Robinson’s The Night Shift, William Hope Hodgson’s eerie The Voice in the Night, and The Elephant Circuit by Robert A. Heinlein.

From Dick, Simak, Anderson, Harrison, Sheckley, Brown, Silverberg, Bradbury, Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein and more, Lost Sci-Fi Books 141 thru 160 delivers twenty journeys across Mars, distant planets, strange futures, and some of the most imaginative territory vintage science fiction has to offer.
