Countdown for blastoff... X minus five, four, three, two, X minus one... Fire!

X Minus One was an NBC-created show that ran weekly from 1956 to 1958 and had an attempted but failed comeback in 1973. It was a science-fiction anthology series; each week was a completely different story, with no recurring characters or cast. Most of the stories came from the pages of “Galaxy Science Fiction” and “Astounding Science Fiction” magazines and were written by the likes of Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Fletcher Pratt, Robert Bloch, Clifford Simak, and a host of other major authors.

This book is a listener’s guide to the series. We will carefully examine all 126 of the original stories from a listener’s point of view, including complete synopses and reviews with comments. The book includes links to hear the episodes (online from Archive.org), and the idea is to listen to the original episodes as you read through the book. If you enjoy short science fiction with big ideas and a helping of humor, this is a great find— there are stories involving spaceships, mind control, Martians, mad scientists, charlatans, and robots aplenty. If you are anything at all like the author, you loved reading the sci-fi classics of the fifties, and now you experience that thrill again… with X Minus One.

Description de la librairie

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
