Lost Sci-Fi Books 176 thru 180: Five Classic Tales of Alien Worlds, Martian Battlefields and Deadly Secrets

Lost Sci-Fi Books 176 thru 180 brings together five unforgettable stories from Murray Leinster, Andre Norton, Arthur C. Clarke, Fritz Leiber, and Ambrose Bierce. Strange powers emerge, civilizations vanish, humanity reaches other worlds, and a terrible suspicion leads one man toward tragedy.

The Nameless Something by Murray Leinster introduces Bud Gregory, a man possessing an ability so extraordinary there may not even be a word for what he is. When a truck driver watches an impossible vehicle swerve out over empty space, the mystery has only begun.

The Gifts of Asti by Andre Norton takes us to a dying world and a woman who once stood guardian over worlds. Her own civilization is gone, but its legacy—and the mysterious gifts it left behind—may not be finished with her yet.

Encounter in the Dawn by Arthur C. Clarke approaches contact between worlds without ray guns or space-opera spectacle. Clarke imagines what such an encounter might actually look like and delivers a thoughtful twist on humanity’s place in the universe.

The Foxholes of Mars by Fritz Leiber carries warfare into the far future. Giant spaceships may cross the stars, but planets must still be held by soldiers on the ground—and the thoughts born in Martian foxholes can be every bit as bitter as those born on Earth.

The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce turns toward psychological terror as jealousy and suspicion consume a marriage. A husband determined to discover the truth sets events in motion that lead to murder, madness, and a haunting mystery told from beyond the grave.

From impossible powers and lost civilizations to first contact, Martian warfare, and supernatural mystery, Lost Sci-Fi Books 176 thru 180 offers five distinctive journeys beyond the familiar.
