Lost Sci-Fi Books 141 thru 145 - Five Lost Sci-Fi Short Stories from the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s

1. Souvenir by Philip K. Dick - A hideous nightmare seemed the culture of Williamson's World–to men who knew nothing of beauty.
   


2. Message From Mars by Clifford D. Simak - Fifty-five pioneers had died on the "bridge of bones" that spanned the Void to the rusty plains of Mars. Now the fifty-sixth stood on the red planet, his only ship a total wreck—and knew that Earth was doomed unless he could send a warning within hours.
   


3. Duel on Syrtis by Poul Anderson - Bold and ruthless, he was famed throughout the System as a big-game hunter. From the firedrakes of Mercury to the ice-crawlers of Pluto, he'd slain them all. But his trophy-room lacked one item; and now Riordan swore he'd bag the forbidden game that roamed the red deserts ... a Martian!
   


4. The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison - James diGriz lives a life of crime, and he's good at it. Perhaps not as good as he thinks he is!
   


5. Beside Still Waters by Robert Sheckley - When people talk about getting away from it all, they are usually thinking about our great open spaces out west. But to science fiction writers, that would be practically in the heart of Times Square. When a man of the future wants solitude he picks a slab of rock floating in space four light years west of Andromeda. Here is a gentle little story about a man who sought the solitude of such a location. And who did he take along for company? None other than Charles the robot.
