Description

Working on the theory that you can skin a sucker in space as well as on Earth, the con team of Harding and Sheckly operated furtively but profitably among natives of the outer planets. That is—until there was a question of turnabout being fair play in a world where natives took their skinning literally! Skin Game by Charles E. Fritch, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.It’s been more than two year since Charles E. Fritch has been on the podcast with Danger In The Void. Let’s go back in time almost 70 years ago and open the pages of the May 1954 publication of If World’s of Science Fiction. You will find two stories we’ve featured previously. Prominent Author by Philip K. Dick and Forsyte’s Retreat by Winston Marks. Our third story from that magazine is found on page 55, Skin Game by Charles E. Fritch…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, As a mysterious star hurtles toward Earth, bringing with it unprecedented chaos and destruction, humanity grapples with the impending apocalypse and the uncertain fate of their world. Amidst the turmoil, a diverse array of individuals—from scientists to lovers, from scholars to refugees—navigate the cataclysmic events and search for meaning in the face of annihilation.
