The Guest Rites by Robert Silverberg - R...

SCOTT MILLER
About this episode

Carthule was not the Earthman's god, but Carthule protected him while he was a guest in the temple—even if he tore the temple down! The Guest Rites by Robert Silverberg, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

 

Our latest 5-star rating and review was posted on Apple Podcasts Canada. Sgt. Spiff says, “A treasure trove of classic Sci-Fi! You could spend a lot of time hunting around various podcasts for a smattering of classic takes, or you could just subscribe to this one and get it all in one place! This podcast provides a rich and well-curated collection of stories from well-known and lesser-known authors. All of them expertly introduced, narrated, and produced. This collection holds its own against the efforts of sci-fi editing luminaries like Neil Clarke. Thank you for such an incredible array of stories. Keep them coming!”

 

Thank you, Sgt. Spiff, for that rousing review. Your reviews make a difference and, if you think we deserve it, we would appreciate it if you would give us a 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts.
