Synopsis

Lost Sci-Fi Books 51 thru 55 brings together five imaginative adventures from Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury, Winston Marks, C. H. Thames and S. J. Sackett—stories of obsession, immortality, interplanetary war and some very dangerous ways to make a living.Small Town by Philip K. Dick — Verne Haskel has built an extraordinarily detailed model of his hometown in his basement. It’s his private refuge from a life he despises, but Haskel isn’t content simply to recreate his world. He wants to improve it.Lazarus Come Forth by Ray Bradbury — After three hundred years of war with Mars, the Morgue Ship intercepts information that could finally give Earth the advantage. Brandon must somehow get that knowledge home before the Martians stop him.Until Life Do Us Part by Winston Marks — Immortality sounds wonderful until life stretches on and on. Emotional detachment is the key to staying sane, which makes falling in love one of the most dangerous things an immortal can do.Planet of Doom by C. H. Thames — Galactic reporter Jane Crowley has stumbled onto the biggest story of her career. Thousands of people are about to die, and she’s standing on the planet where it’s going to happen.The Last Plunge by S. J. Sackett — Borgmann needs money badly enough to accept a job few men would consider: diving through the atmosphere of Uranus in pursuit of deadly air lions. The pay is good. Surviving long enough to collect it is another matter.From a Philip K. Dick reality-bending classic to Ray Bradbury’s interplanetary war and a perilous plunge into the skies of Uranus, Lost Sci-Fi Books 51 thru 55 delivers five wildly different journeys into the strange possibilities of vintage science fiction.

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.
