Description

The wars of the far future will be fought with giant spaceships, but it will still take the infantryman to hold down the planets. And some of the thoughts bred in the foxholes of Mars or Alpha Centauri Duo or Rigel Tres will be fully as bitter as some of those dredged up in the foxholes of Earth. The Foxholes of Mars by Fritz Leiber, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode. We love reading your emails. This one comes from Graeme Dalling, “I came across your podcast 2 weeks ago, and I have been listening to all the back episodes as often as I can. Thank you so much for a wonderful and entertaining show. The narration is top notch, very easy and enjoyable to listen to. I am blind, so access to printed material is very limited to either very large magnification devices or Text to Speech reading. To hear my favourite authors and alot of new ones (to me) read out so well, is such a marvellous find! Again, a very big Thank you!!! Graeme Dalling, South Australia.” Thank you sir! Thank you for your email and your kind words. We would love to hear from you! scott@lostscifi.com Commenting on “The Wall of Darkness” Stephen Kagan says, “An enthralling story beautifully told!” Thanks Stephen! Fritz Leiber returns today with an interesting science fiction short story about war set on Mars.  “What is it we’re fighting against,” he wondered–and what for? rWe find our story on page 125 in the June 1952 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories, The Foxholes of Mars by Fritz Leiber… In three days on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, There is one fact no sane man can quarrel with... everything has a beginning and an end. But some men aren't sane; thus it isn't always so! And It Comes Out Here by Lester del Rey. That’s in three days on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.Support the show
