Robert Silverberg is an accomplished author, prolific, award winning, you may have noticed I said is, not was, because unlike all the authors we’ve featured so far on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast he’s still with us. Born in 1935, Silverberg has won the Hugo and Nebula awards many times, was named to the science fiction hall of fame in 1999, and in 2004 was designated as a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. It’s been said that when you include introductions, reviews and editorials to his vast number of novels and short stories it would total more than 1,200.

At last report the 87-year-old Silverberg and his wife Karen live in the San Francisco bay area.

The magazine where our story originates originally credited Randall Garrett for Six Frightened Men, perhaps because Robert Silverberg contributed another story to this issue, Woman’s World.

From Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in June 1957 turn with me to page 76 for Six Frightened Men by Robert Silverberg…
