Collision Orbit by Clyde Beck

The tiny asteroid with the frightened girl and the wrecked spacer with the grim young man slowly spun closer and closer ... but the real danger came after the crash! Collision Orbit by Clyde Beck. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Special thanks to Paul Belcher for his 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, “My New Favorite Podcast. I’m so impressed with this unassuming, yet extremely entertaining podcast. I love the narration, the little facts about each story, and the interesting mix of authors and different sub genres within the overarching sci-fi subject. It’s been fun rediscovering classics and hearing some of the more obscure authors for my first time. Thanks Scott - I appreciate your hard work and dedication!” Paul we appreciate your spectacular review and thanks for listening!! If you haven’t already left us a 5 star review, if you think we deserve it, we would appreciate it if you did.

Like others we’ve featured on the podcast Clyde Beck was a science fiction fan before he was a sci-fi author. His short stories were published only four times, first in 1930, then in 1947, 1950 and 1953. Beck was born in California in 1912 and died there in 1986.

Collision Orbit was published in Planet Stories magazine in the summer of 1950. Two other stories we’ve shared on the podcast appeared in that issue, Flowering Evil by Margaret St. Clair and The Enormous Word by William Oberfield. Turn to page 48, Collision Orbit by Clyde Beck…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, same title, different story, The mountain men who opened up the frontier in the west weren’t settlers, they were trappers, traders, fighters and gunmen — the men who didn’t fit back home. The kind of men who will be needed on the frontier of space… Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean.
