Summary
A breakthrough promises safe travel across the galaxy, using mysterious wells of newly created matter scattered through deep space. But when the first expedition reaches one of these cosmic fountains, the crew discovers the universe demands payment for every miracle. The Wellsprings of Space by Albert Teichner. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. This is Albert R. Teichner’s first appearance on the podcast. Surprisingly, we couldn’t uncover any background on him—unusual given that he was publishing in the 1960s and 70s and produced nearly 20 science fiction stories, more than many writers we feature. Turn to page 48 in the October 1961 issue of Amazing Stories, The Wellsprings of Space by Albert Teichner… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A man is forced to choose between the safety of one life and the fate of an entire world—and every second he delays tightens the grip on both. When he agrees to betray everything he’s sworn to protect, the only question left is whether he’s truly given in… or setting something far more dangerous in motion. Traitor’s Choice by Paul W.
