The Burnt Planet by William Brittain - S...

SCOTT MILLER
About this episode

Mad with despair, they fought back from the ruins. Whoever these invaders were, they should not have a world which its defenders themselves had destroyed! The Burnt Planet William Brittain, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


If the name William Brittain rings a bell, you know your vintage science fiction. He’s another one of those authors that we know almost nothing about, he wrote a few stories and then… who knows? But there are some authors that you wish wrote a lot more, and for me, he is one of them, because I LOVE William Brittain’s writing.


He wrote 3 stories, one in 1942 and two more in 1948. What you are about to hear is the last story ever published written by William. J Brittain. Turn to page 80 in the Winter 1948 issue of Planet Stories Magazine, The Burnt Planet William Brittain


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Ripped by an asteroid stray, the space-ship drifted helplessly … until suddenly, across the shuddering deeps, a strange voice called to her. Runaway by Alfred Coppel.
