Golden Age Fiction

A Time to Die, by Harold Calin


Listen Later

Captain Kingsford, the only survivor of the Essex's ill-fated mission to Aldebaran IX, was recruiting another crew to revisit Aldebaran IX, mine the hugely rich ore deposits on that planet, and hunt and kill the monster that had killed his crew. 

Philip "Buck" Rogers was sick of retirement and needed something to do, and Executive Officer on the Algonquin, Kingsford's new ship, seemed just the job to ease back into the space-faring life.

"A Time to Die" appeared in "Amazing Stories," June 1961, pages 47 - 66.
