A desperate Contact Man races to secure a planetary trade contract, only to discover a world ruled entirely by astrology and fear. When a disastrous landing sends him spiraling into the underworld of Mert, he must outwit fate itself to survive — and change the future. Conquest Over Time by Michael Shaara. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Before earning the Pulitzer Prize for The Killer Angels, Michael Shaara spent years crafting science fiction rich with energy, sharp humor, and boundless imagination. His sci-fi debut, Orphans of the Void, appeared in 1952 and has already been featured on the podcast. Four years later, in 1956, he returned with today’s tale. So open your 69-year-old issue of Fantastic Universe, November 1956, turn to page 80, and enjoy Conquest Over Time by Michael Shaara…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Caught in the fog-choked wilds of Venus, Castle stumbles into a mystery far stranger than the hostile “natives” stalking him through the gloom. His only chance at survival lies in unraveling who — or what — really claims this harsh alien world. First Landing by Roger D. Aycock.
