Synopsis

Lost Sci-Fi Books 76 thru 80 brings together five unforgettable stories from Philip K. Dick, Robert Silverberg, George Whittington, Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury, where humanity faces mutants, alien invaders, brutal interrogations and a future that may no longer belong to ordinary men.The Golden Man by Philip K. Dick — Earth’s authorities believe they’ve nearly eliminated the mutants created in the aftermath of atomic war. Then a beautiful golden youth appears with extraordinary abilities—and the power to challenge humanity’s place at the top.The Inquisitor by Robert Silverberg — Kroll’s job is to interrogate traitors until their resistance is broken. There’s nothing unusual about prisoners claiming innocence. What troubles him is that every one of them seems to be telling the same story.Invader From Infinity by George Whittington — Captain McPartland receives an order that couldn’t be clearer: destroy the invader. His expendable spacecraft races into a battle from which nobody expects him to return.Glow Worm by Harlan Ellison — He is the last man left on Earth. At least, that’s what he believes. But after everything that has happened to him, an even more disturbing question remains: can he still call himself human?Rocket Summer by Ray Bradbury — The world is ready to celebrate humanity’s first great voyage to the Moon. Then President Stanley suddenly cancels the mission, transforming excitement into fury and leaving everyone demanding to know why.Lost Sci-Fi Books 76 thru 80 delivers five powerful journeys into uncertain futures, including early works from some of science fiction’s biggest names and ideas that remain provocative decades after they first appeared.

About Philip K. Dick

Over a writing career that spanned three decades, PHILIP K. DICK (1928–1982) published 36 science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned to deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly, as well as television's The Man in the High Castle. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, including the Hugo and John W. Campbell awards, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and between 2007 and 2009, the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
