Read by Scott Miller

Lost Sci-Fi Books 21 thru 25 - Five Lost Sci-Fi Short Stories from the 1940s, 50s and 60s - The Gun by Philip K. Dick - Nothing moved or stirred. Everything was silent, dead. Only the gun showed signs of life ... and the trespassers had wrecked that for all time. The return journey to pick up the treasure would be a cinch ... they smiled. - So They Baked A Cake by Winston Marks - He was tired of people-a "human interest" columnist, who specializes in glamorizations of the commonplace and sordid is likely to get that way. So ... this starship seemed to offer the ideal escape from it all. - The Alien Dies at Dawn by Alexander Blade - Kendall Stone had twelve hours to save athousand lives. It wasn't much time, especially since someone was making sure he didn't use it! - Unwelcomed Visitor by William Morrison - Xhanph was the fully accredited ambassador from Gfun, and Earth's first visitor from outer space. History and the amenities called for a tremendous reception. But earth people are funny - Task of Kayin by William Morrison - From out beyond the second sun he came; a fugitive from a dead and sterile world ... seeking solace, friends, a home, on Earth-a planet of even greater terrors
