Return of a Legend by Raymond Z. Gallun - Survival is the Only Law on Mars


Listen Later

Mars' fever they called it. Could the wild boy cheat the Red Planet's skeleton deserts and the dogged trailers from Port Laribee? Return of a Legend by Raymond Z. Gallun. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


You might not know of Raymond Z. Gallun, and yes his last name rhymes with balloon. He was a significant figure in the development of modern science fiction.


In recognition of his contributions to science fiction, Gallun received the I-CON Lifetime Achievement Award in 1985, which was later renamed the Raymond Z. Gallun Award.


Born on March 22, 1911, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, he began his writing career early, publishing his first stories, “The Space Dwellers” and “The Crystal Ray,” in 1929 at the age of 18. He wrote more than 100 short science fiction stories and 5 novels. Most of those stories were published before 1950.


From Planet Stories Magazine in March 1952 comes a tale of the challenges faced by pioneers on the Red Planet. Turn to page 55, Return of a Legend by Raymond Z. Gallun…


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Tom's extraordinary machine glowed—and the years were banished from Old Crompton's body. But there still remained, deep-seated in his century-old mind, the memory of his crime. Old Crompton's Secret By Harl Vincent.
