"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Without stressing the technological aspects of the strange powers of the widely-talented ones—the psis, espers, telepaths which have been so painstakingly forecast by Stapledon, van Vogt, Weinbaum, Vance and others—Messieurs Peterson and Staub have whipped fantasy, forecasts and facts into a stirring and mentally titillating story of a too-imaginative mind."

1950s Science Fiction 9 - 25 Classic Science Fiction Short Stories from the 1950s: Robots, Paradoxes and Adventures Beyond the Stars

"The 1950s were a golden age of science fiction—a decade when writers imagined astonishing futures, questioned humanity’s place in the universe, and explored the consequences of technology with equal parts wonder and caution. 1950s Science Fiction 9 brings together twenty-five unforgettable stories from some of the greatest names ever to write the genre. Travel to distant worlds where first contact is anything but simple. Encounter mysterious alien visitors, abandoned spacecraft drifting through the void, quarantined civilizations, and strange beings that challenge everything humanity believes about itself. From the sharp wit of Robert Sheckley to the visionary imagination of Arthur C. Clarke, every story offers a unique glimpse into the boundless creativity of mid-century science fiction. Experience military blunders on a galactic scale in Clarke’s classic Superiority, uncover secrets hidden among the stars in The Parasite, and follow unexpected adventures in stories by Isaac Asimov, Harry Harrison, Robert Silverberg, John Wyndham, Harlan Ellison, and many more. Some tales are suspenseful, some humorous, some deeply thought-provoking—but all capture the excitement that made 1950s science fiction a cultural phenomenon. You’ll discover robots that refuse to behave, paradoxes that defy logic, explorers confronting the unknown, and ordinary people thrust into extraordinary situations. Whether it’s a lonely outpost in deep space, a mysterious visitor from another world, or a future society facing unexpected consequences, these stories continue to entertain and inspire decades after their original publication. Carefully restored and collected in one volume, 1950s Science Fiction 9 delivers adventure, imagination, and classic storytelling from an era when the future felt limitless.

Second Census: He Counted Them Before They Were Born

"Second Census by John Victor Peterson - Quintuplets alone would be bad enough, without a census taker who could count them in advance! In addition to being a genius in applied atomics, Maitland Browne's a speedster, a practical joker, and a spare-time dabbler in electronics. As far as speed's concerned, I had a very special reason for wanting to get home early tonight, and swift straight flight would have been perfectly okay with me. The trouble was that Browne decided that this was his night to work on Fitzgerald. Browne lifted the three passenger jetcopter—his contribution to our commuterpool—from the flight stage at Brookhaven National Laboratories in a strictly prosaic manner. Then the flight-fiend in him came out with a vengeance. Suddenly and simultaneously he set the turbo-jets to full thrust and dived to treetop level; then he started hedgehopping toward Long Island Sound. His heavy dark features were sardonic in the rear-view mirror; his narrowed, speculative eyes flicked to it intermittently to scan Ed Fitzgerald beside me. Browne's action didn't surprise, startle, or even frighten me at first. I'd seen the mildly irritated look in his eyes when Fitzgerald had come meandering up—late as usual!—to the ship back on the stage. I had rather expected some startling development; provoking Ed Fitzgerald to a measurable nervous reaction was one of Browne's burning ambitions. I also had a certain positive hunch that Fitzgerald's tardiness was deliberate. In any event my mind was ninety per cent elsewhere. Tessie—my wife—had visifoned me from Doc Gardiner's office in New Canaan just before I'd left my office at the Labs and had told me with high elation that we were destined to become the proud parents of quintuplets! I was, therefore, now going back bewilderedly over our respective family trees, seeking a precedent in the genes."
