Lost Sci-Fi Books 91 thru 95 brings together five inventive stories from Philip K. Dick, Harry Harrison, Jack McKenty, Murray Leinster and Lawrence F. Willard, where reality refuses to stay put, a missing battleship threatens disaster, and trusting a computer can lead to some very strange conclusions. Exhibit Piece by Philip K. Dick — George Miller curates a painstaking recreation of twentieth-century life and feels more at home there than in his own time. When he hears someone inside the supposedly empty exhibit, he goes to investigate—and discovers a world that shouldn’t exist. The Misplaced Battleship by Harry Harrison — Losing a battleship sounds impossible, but interstellar space is enormous. When one disappears, the real problem isn’t finding it. It’s discovering who has it—and what they intend to do with it. $1,000 A Plate by Jack McKenty — When Marsy Gras launches its spectacular celebration, the Mars Observatory responds with fireworks of its own. What follows turns an extravagant event into something nobody expected. The Other Now by Murray Leinster — He watched his wife die. He attended her funeral. Yet somewhere among an infinity of possibilities lies another reality where events unfolded differently—and reaching it could change everything. Rabbits Have Long Ears by Lawrence F. Willard — The computer says it’s a rabbit, and Montresig isn’t inclined to question the machine. But when technology insists on an answer that makes no sense, believing it can be considerably more dangerous than arguing with it. Lost Sci-Fi Books 91 thru 95 delivers five trips into the wonderfully unpredictable side of vintage science fiction, where battleships vanish, realities collide, computers get the final word, and nothing is quite as certain as it seems.
