The 16th Golden Age of Science Fiction MEGAPACK ®: 18 Stories by William C. Gault Kindle Edition

3.9 out of 5 stars 128 ratings

William Campbell Gault (1910–1995) was an American writer. He wrote under his own name, as well as (among others) the pseudonyms Roney Scott, Larry Sternig, and Will Duke. He is probably best remembered for his sports fiction, particularly the young-readers’ novels he began publishing in the early 1960s. Gault was also an acclaimed mystery writer. He was not limited to sports and mysteries, though—he also wrote a substantial body of science fiction. (Admittedly, he did mix crime and sports into his science fiction!) We believe this volume is the largest collection of his fantastic work ever produced. Included are:


SCRAP IRON

VENUSIAN INVADER

CLUTCH OF MORPHEUS

TOTAL RECALL

BREATH OF BEELZEBUB

THE HESITANT ANGEL

MADE TO MEASURE

LET'S DO IT AGAIN

FOG

I’LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

THIS WAY TO MARS

JOY RIDE

THE HUDDLERS

THE MIGHTY DEAD

ELECTION CAMPAIGN

THE WOMAN OBSESSION

TITLE FIGHT

ESCAPE FEROCITY

    Although the stories may have been written in the middle of the last century, they are well written, not too far-fetched, and entertaining.
    After 60-odd years they are just as readable as Verne and Wells from even longer ago.

    Classic mind-20th century SF with ingenious plot twists. I'm glad I bought this and discovered an SF writer I hadn't encountered before

    Reviewed in Canada on 10 March 2016
    All of these books for $.99 and most have 25 stories . It's great to read old science fiction and how they imagined the future would be.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting SF from the 50s
    Reviewed in the United States on 21 July 2015
    These are 50s era stories, many somewhat unusual as the author was also a sports writer. There are, for example, stories about robot boxers. I found all the stories entertaining and well written. The editor has listed the original publication date with each story, something I find very useful when reading vintage SF.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I'm truly amazed at how current this old science fiction is and Im reading it in 2017 60 years after it was written.
    Reviewed in the United States on 14 June 2017
    Lately I've gotten into anthologies of old science-fiction Nabi 99 cent you get to read 20 or 30 stories and they seem to be just as modern as the ones that are written in the last couple of years
