Next Time We Die, The

di Robert Moore Williams (Autore)

Scott Miller, 2026

On a remote desert world, two stranded explorers lie trapped in a shallow hollow of sand while unseen enemies circle them with weapons scavenged from a forgotten civilization. Their only shelter is a depression in the dunes, their only advantage a heavy rifle and a stubborn refusal to surrender. Every decision must be made under a sky so clear it feels merciless. When the shooting starts, survival becomes immediate and brutal, measured in seconds and inches. Yet even in the middle of blood and sand, something larger rises in their words—a belief that this fight is only one moment in a much longer journey. Robert Moore Williams does not write this as a grand campaign or a sweeping epic. He narrows the frame to two people, wounded and exhausted, who argue about history, evolution, and whether any defeat is truly permanent. The desert tribes they face once built cities and lost them. Civilizations have risen here and fallen back into dust. But the human drive to return, to try again, to correct a mistake next time—that may be the most dangerous force of all. When the final trap springs, what remains is not despair but a vow. Press play and decide whether the promise they make can ever be broken. Robert Moore Williams published prolifically in the science fiction magazines of the 1940s and 1950s, including Planet Stories, Amazing Stories, and Thrilling Wonder Stories. He wrote planetary adventures such as Jongor of Lost Land and a long run of novels and short fiction that blended action with speculative ideas about evolution and destiny. His work often placed ordinary men and women in harsh off-world environments where conviction mattered as much as weapons. The Next Time We Die carries that signature intensity—lean, direct, and driven by characters who refuse to concede the future.
