Bump.

The Planet Savers by Marion Zimmer Bradley
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/31619

The first Darkover novel from Amazing November 1958. Don't use a bound book, it must be the magazine version.

"Conquest Over Time" by Michael Shaara

http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/31652

I've read some of Michael Shaara's historical fiction (The Killer Angels) and For Love of the Game (a book far superior to the mediocre film made from it). I didn't even know he wrote sci-fi. This one is...cute...

Has anyone claimed this one? I've not done a reading yet, and would like to volunteer to lend my voice to one... And well sci-fi is more my personal genre of reading choice, so... er, I raise my hand to volunteer.

No-one's recorded it yet, R, you're welcome to put your voice to it. (You'd be welcome to do it even it HAD been done before -- it's great to offer our listeners a choice of voice!)

I'd suggest you use the information from the Short Sci Fi collection thread to get going with. This story is on the longer end of things, would take about an hour and a quarter at my pace. If yours comes out at longer than 77 mins, then I'd suggest you split it in half, at a natural pausing point, and make it into a tiny but lovely 2-piece solo. But get advice on it once you've recorded and edited and know how long the finished thing is!

It'd also be well worth doing a test recording first, just to be sure all your technical settings are in line with LibriVox requirements. You could even use the first paragraph of the story, to get into it.

City At World's End by Edmond Hamilton. A Galaxy Magazine pulp novel published in 1953.

http://www.archive.org/details/City_At_Worlds_End_

My research (admittedly limited to the Stanford Database) shows no renewal.

We have some other Hamilton in the catalog. This would make a nice addition.

Here are a few more:

Devolutionist, 4 book series by Homer Eon Flint

Solarion by Edward Fawcett - a mad scientist gives a dog the power of speech and human intelligence. It's a horror/sci fi.

There are others by Edward Fawcett.

Aha, this is the one I told Gweeks about months ago after finding it on ManyBooks
http://manybooks.net/titles/hamiltoneother05cityworldsend.html
, then forgetting the title...

Thanks, Jim!
