Lost Sci-Fi Books 21 thru 25: Deadly Machines, Alien Visitors and Dangerous Worlds Beyond the Stars

Lost Sci-Fi Books 21 thru 25 delivers five vintage adventures where forgotten weapons still defend their secrets, humanity meets its first visitor from the stars, and escaping to another world may only lead to bigger trouble.

The Gun by Philip K. Dick — Explorers discover a silent, apparently dead world and the treasure left behind. But among the ruins, one enormous gun is still very much alive—and it knows exactly what it was built to do.

So They Baked A Cake by Winston Marks — Fed up with people and the endless demands of his human-interest column, a weary newspaperman sees a starship as the perfect escape. Getting away from humanity, however, doesn’t necessarily mean getting away from human problems.

The Alien Dies at Dawn by Alexander Blade — Kendall Stone has only twelve hours to save a thousand lives. Someone knows what he’s trying to do—and intends to make certain those twelve hours are wasted.

Unwelcomed Visitor by William Morrison — Xhanph arrives as Earth’s first official visitor from another world. History demands a magnificent welcome, but Earth’s inhabitants have their own peculiar way of handling an alien ambassador.

Task of Kayin by William Morrison — A fugitive from a dead world travels across the stars searching for friendship and a new home. He chooses Earth—and discovers a planet with dangers he never imagined.

From Philip K. Dick’s deadly planetary mystery to alien diplomacy gone sideways, Lost Sci-Fi Books 21 thru 25 is packed with danger, humor, strange encounters and the wildly inventive storytelling that makes vintage science fiction unforgettable.
