The Shipshape Miracle by Clifford D. Sim...

SCOTT MILLER
About this episode

The castaway was a wanted man — but he didn’t know how badly he was wanted! The Shipshape Miracle by Clifford D. Simak, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.


Today we go back in time only 60 years ago to the pages of If Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine in January 1963. Turn to page 32 for The Shipshape Miracle by Clifford D. Simak…


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The Tarks were attacking, the bosomy princess was clinging to him in terror, and Harold Smith realized he was at the end of his plot-line. What a dilemma! And what an opportunity!! The Blonde From Barsoom by Robert F. Young.
