The Quantum Jump by Robert Wicks

SCOTT MILLER
About this episode

Captain Brandon was a pioneer. He explored the far reaches of space and reported back on how things were out there. So it was pretty disquieting to find out that the “far reaches of space” knew more about what went on at home than he did. The Quantum Jump by Robert Wicks. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


Another day, another podcast and another author we know nothing about. Don’t know when or where Robert Wicks was born or where he lived. We do know he had three published stories, one in 1958, another in 1959 and the last in 1960.


His first story appeared in Amazing Science Fiction Stories in October 1958. Let’s turn to page 20, The Quantum Jump by Robert Wicks…


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He was the oldest man on Mars ... in fact, the only one! The Hermit of Mars by Stephen Bartholomew.
