Summary

Lancelot Biggs was an unpredictable quantity, but nobody aboard the Saturn thought he'd ever turn traitor! "The Genius of Lancelot Biggs" appeared in the June 1940 issue of "Fantastic Adventures," on pages 92 to 103 and 132. ----- Nelson Slade Bond (November 23, 1908 – November 4, 2006) was an American writer. His works included books, magazine articles, and scripts used in radio, for television and on the stage. The 1998 recipient of the Nebula Author Emeritus award for lifetime achievement, Bond was a pioneer in early science fiction and fantasy. His published fiction is mainly short stories, most of which appeared in pulp magazines in the 1930s and 1940s. Many were published in Blue Book magazine. He is noted for his "Lancelot Biggs" series of stories and for his "Meg the Priestess" tales, which introduced one of the first powerful female characters in science fiction. ----- If there's a story you'd like me to narrate, or a genre you'd like me to include more of, please let me know at [email protected] . ----- Music: "Mesmerizing Galaxy" Kevin MacLeod ( incompetech.com ).
