Lost Sci-Fi Books 86 thru 90: Time Travel, Mutant Ants and a Crime King Hiding Among the Stars

Lost Sci-Fi Books 86 thru 90 brings together five imaginative stories from Philip K. Dick, Frederik Pohl, Fritz Leiber and August Derleth, where changing the future could destroy humanity, ants may inherit the Earth, and time itself offers no guarantee of escape.

Meddler by Philip K. Dick — Scientists have found a way to look into the future, but what they see changes dramatically when a time traveler interferes. The terrifying question isn’t simply whether humanity can alter its destiny—but whether trying to change it creates the disaster everyone fears.

Let The Ants Try by Frederik Pohl — Dr. Salva Gordy surveys the radioactive remains of Detroit and wonders whether humanity has finally ruined its chance to survive. Then he notices an anthill and considers an extraordinary alternative.

Asteroid of the Damned by Frederik Pohl — Somewhere on a notorious asteroid, the most dangerous crime king in the universe is hiding. Finding him means entering a place where almost anything can be bought and almost anyone can disappear.

Nice Girl With 5 Husbands by Fritz Leiber — A traveler finds himself in a world where the familiar has become strange and the seemingly outrageous is perfectly ordinary. Adventure, he discovers, depends entirely on what you’re accustomed to.

A Traveler In Time by August Derleth — Running away may put miles between a man and his troubles, but some things aren’t bound by distance. When time enters the equation, escape becomes considerably more complicated.

From Philip K. Dick’s dangerous experiments with destiny to Frederik Pohl’s audacious vision of humanity’s successors, Lost Sci-Fi Books 86 thru 90 delivers five journeys into strange futures where changing the world can have consequences nobody sees coming.
