In this forgotten SF (or to use the terminology of its era…Scientific Romance) novel from 1926, a mad scientist creates a machine - linked to the brain of a dead grocer - that can, with the flick of a switch, alter reality. The idea here is that “Thought energy” can be harnessed by one individual, to re-shape the world as if key events had not happened.

All of the Bud Gregory stories by Murray Leinster have now posted to Project Gutenberg from the magazine versions.
The book that includes most of these stories will not clear copyright with Project Gutenberg.

Is the book you're talking about Out of this World? I would think having the original stories is better anyway since the book it seems like is a fix-up that may edit them down a little to fit into an overarching narrative.

Yes. I don't know if these were edited or not. The stories that went into Colonial Survey/The Planet Explorer were pretty heavily edited.

These would probably make a good solo project just compiled all four together as "The Bud Gregory Adventures" or something like that.
Yep, this was actually a novelization of the film that was based on von Harbou's notes from writing the screenplay. It includes story points that were edited out of the film.

Hot Ziggedy Greg! The riches just keep flowing. I just texted my doctor to add another 3.4 years to my life 'cuz my backlog of must record stories just keeps getting longer. He hasn't answered yet. Love these stories and you and Gutenberg and LibriVox for making them so easy to get. I will be doing all four this year, probably in a single project.
EDIT: actually I just realized I have done two of them already. Guess I'll just have to do them again so they can all be in one big listening fun package, following the escapades of the laziest man on earth.
This was created from these shorter works:
"The Disciplinary Circuit"
"The Manless Worlds"
"The Boomerang Circuit"
They are at PG also.
Greg
Well, well, well. I just finished recording The Disciplinary Circuit and thought "darn, that story is dangling. It needs a follow up!" and by golly, here it is. Or at least i hope it takes up the unique premise and continues to develop it.

This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but is the STAINLESS STEEL RAT by Harry Harrison original story in Astounding SF 1957 in the public domain. He wrote this before expanding it into a book and then series.
