And we continue to receive 5 star reviews on Apple Podcasts. We discovered this one from Monique Schulz who gave us 5 stars and says, “Great voice acting! Not a huge sci-fi fan but desperate for new content and found this podcast. The narrator has me hooked!” What a compliment! Thank you Monique!!


We’ve got another author making his debut on the podcast today, and although you may not recognize his name, you’ve probably seen several of his movies.


Point Blank with Lee Marvin, The Split starring Jim Brown; The Hot Rock with Robert Redford; The Outfit with Robert Duvall; Bank Shot with George C. Scott; Payback in with Mel Gibson; What's the Worst That Could Happen? with Martin Lawrence and Parker with Jason Statham. There are more but you get the idea. Donald E. Westlake, born in Brooklyn in 1933, was a prolific, award-winning mystery novelist who pounded out more than 100 books and 5 screenplays on manual typewriters during a career of nearly 50 years, and he wrote more than a few science fiction short stories too. About 40 of them, and you will hear from this talented author again and again on our podcast.


The title got my attention and his writing kept it all the way to the end of this terrific apocalyptic tale. It would set you back a couple of quarters to buy Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in October 1961. The last story in Volume 20, number 1 of this sci-fi staple is on page 178, The Spy in the Elevator by Donald E. Westlake…


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The blue men had ravaged Terra and reduced Winston Eberly to a contemptible insect. Now here he was, complaining of indigestion! The Enormous Word

by William Oberfield.
