Synopsis

Lost Sci-Fi Books 91 thru 95 brings together five inventive stories from Philip K. Dick, Harry Harrison, Jack McKenty, Murray Leinster and Lawrence F. Willard, where reality refuses to stay put, a missing battleship threatens disaster, and trusting a computer can lead to some very strange conclusions.Exhibit Piece by Philip K. Dick — George Miller curates a painstaking recreation of twentieth-century life and feels more at home there than in his own time. When he hears someone inside the supposedly empty exhibit, he goes to investigate—and discovers a world that shouldn’t exist.The Misplaced Battleship by Harry Harrison — Losing a battleship sounds impossible, but interstellar space is enormous. When one disappears, the real problem isn’t finding it. It’s discovering who has it—and what they intend to do with it.$1,000 A Plate by Jack McKenty — When Marsy Gras launches its spectacular celebration, the Mars Observatory responds with fireworks of its own. What follows turns an extravagant event into something nobody expected.The Other Now by Murray Leinster — He watched his wife die. He attended her funeral. Yet somewhere among an infinity of possibilities lies another reality where events unfolded differently—and reaching it could change everything.Rabbits Have Long Ears by Lawrence F. Willard — The computer says it’s a rabbit, and Montresig isn’t inclined to question the machine. But when technology insists on an answer that makes no sense, believing it can be considerably more dangerous than arguing with it.Lost Sci-Fi Books 91 thru 95 delivers five trips into the wonderfully unpredictable side of vintage science fiction, where battleships vanish, realities collide, computers get the final word, and nothing is quite as certain as it seems.

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.
