Lost Sci-Fi Books 161 thru 180: Twenty Vintage Tales of Alien Worlds, Strange Encounters, Cosmic Mysteries and the Impossible

Long before humanity reached the Moon, writers were already traveling far beyond it.

Lost Sci-Fi Books 161 thru 180 gathers twenty extraordinary stories spanning more than two centuries of imagination, including a remarkable tale from 1752 and classics from the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s. These are stories from an age when the universe seemed limitless and every distant planet, mysterious visitor and unexplained phenomenon offered another doorway into the unknown.

The collection brings together legendary voices including Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Fritz Leiber, Theodore Sturgeon, Leigh Brackett, Edmond Hamilton, Andre Norton, Murray Leinster and William F. Nolan. It also reaches deeper into the fantastic with H. G. Wells, Ambrose Bierce, Mary Shelley and Voltaire, whose astonishing Micromegas imagined visitors from other worlds centuries before modern science fiction existed.

Across these stories, spaceships fill the sky, forgotten worlds hide dangerous secrets, humanity encounters the unexpected, and familiar reality can suddenly become something far stranger. There is adventure, humor, mystery and wonder, along with the wonderfully audacious ideas that have drawn generations of readers to science fiction.

Lost Sci-Fi Books 161 thru 180 is a journey through the evolution of imaginative storytelling—from the earliest visions of other worlds to the unforgettable science fiction of the twentieth century.
