5 Lost Treasures from Sci-fi's Golden Age Overview

I’ll make a confession to you. Although I love sci-fi more than any other genre on the face of the earth, I have trouble watching many of the latest sci-fi movies made for TV or the theaters.

That’s because most of them are based on special effects and action instead of strong stories plots. This is not surprising considering I was weaned on the classic Sci-fi of the 20th century, which reached its apex in the 1950s and 1960s.

And although I was born at the tail end of that golden era that spawned “I, Robot,” “Who Goes There” and Richard Matheson’s horror-sci-fi classic “I am Legend,” I have made it my business to dig up and read the well-known as well as the most obscure gems of vintage hardcore science fiction!

To that end, I have hunted down these 5 gems – and thrown in a bonus story – for you to savor in this 250-page beautifully illustrated volume. They were selected with the hardcore fan in mind, who is sure to appreciate such stories as “Cry from a Far Planet,” which leads with “Trust no alien being under any circumstances,” motto, or what hardcore fan wouldn’t love “Mercenary,” which is a visionary piece written long ago that rings so true today!
