Lost Sci-Fi Books 196 thru 200 brings together five remarkable stories from Paul MacNamara, Isaac Asimov, Robert F. Young, Arthur C. Clarke, and Fritz Leiber. From deserted city streets to distant planets, these tales explore strange futures where discovery can be dangerous and the unexpected is never far away. The Last Man in New York by Paul MacNamara transforms one of the world’s busiest cities into the setting for an extraordinary mystery. What happens when the crowds are gone and one man is left behind? The Portable Star by Isaac Asimov turns an astonishing scientific possibility into a story filled with the inventive thinking that made Asimov one of science fiction’s most celebrated authors. The Blonde From Barsoom by Robert F. Young takes inspiration from the romantic planetary adventures of an earlier era and sends its characters toward an encounter where fantasy and reality begin to collide. Before Eden by Arthur C. Clarke follows explorers on Venus as they make a discovery that could transform our understanding of life beyond Earth. But their excitement may blind them to the consequences of their arrival. X Marks the Pedwalk by Fritz Leiber imagines a future where the familiar battle between pedestrians and automobiles has escalated into something far more dangerous. Leiber turns everyday city life into sharp, darkly humorous science fiction. From an eerily empty New York to the surface of Venus and the dangerous streets of tomorrow, Lost Sci-Fi Books 196 thru 200 delivers five distinctive journeys from an unforgettable era of science fiction.
