Did he have a right to feel this way? Was this really forbidden by law—this wonderful frightening emotion! And, His plans were thorough. Every risk had been closely considered. Now Ron Carnavon, ruthless convict, was ready to loot the wrecked spaceship of its sapphire treasure, and thrust his warped power around the entire, antagonistic EMV triangle. The Robot Who Wanted To Know by Harry Harrison and Wreck Off Triton by Alfred Coppel, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
We’ve got two short sci-fi stories for you today during our 1st Anniversary Celebration. Author Harry Harrison makes his debut on the podcast with a short story I really love. Harrison was born in Stamford, Connecticut in 1925 and released his first short sci-fi story in 1951. After finishing High School in 1943, Harrison was drafted into the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II.
He was a prolific writer who wrote more than 50 novels and about 100 short stories. He wrote the novel "Make Room! Make Room!" which was the basis for the 1973 film starring Charlton Heston "Soylent Green." I LOVE that movie.
First up on our 1-year anniversary doubleheader a story from the March 1958 issue of Fantastic Universe magazine. Did he have a right to feel this way? Was this really forbidden by law—this wonderful frightening emotion! Our story begins on page 91, The Robot Who Wanted To Know by Harry Harrison…
The second half of our 1st Anniversary double feature takes us back to 1951 and it’s the second story we’ve showcased from Alfred Coppel. His plans were thorough. Every risk had beenclosely considered. Now Ron Carnavon, ruthless convict, was ready to loot the wrecked spaceship of its sapphire treasure. Planet Stories magazine included this Coppel story in its November 1951 publication. Turn to page 73 for Wreck Off Triton by Alfred Coppel…
