To be alive on Earth, during the finding, even on a dead world, of even a dead civilization what a wonder.

One of Beam's best. The age of radio!

Great short story really cool enjoyed it very much

[@susanc4622]

H Beam Piper wrote incredible stories with so much detail. No reliance on special effects.

[@reddir]

Very nice story, and still seems relevant. And well read, energetic and clear.

[@mosart7025]

Piper lived in Altoona Pennsylvania and worked the in huge railroad yards there, So did my grandfather. I like to think that maybe they knew each other?

[@JayM409]

The is my favourite H. Beam Piper story, and possibly my favourite story, period. Is there one for His Little Fuzzy Trilogy?

[@donaldwhittaker7987]

I was born in 1954 and never read this great stuff until the late 60s. These writers were great. Mad Magazine, Playboy, and sci-fi changed America culturally for the better. The ruling classes ignored this and just went on gobbling up the planet. Alas. If we're doomed at least we've got good literature to pass the time.😁

Not a big Piper fan, but this story is pleasant enough.

I gave up movies and television sewage well over 10 years ago… Audiobooks, and especially the ones written in the 40s 50s and 60s, are, in my opinion, much better because they are not chock-full of immorality, illicit sex, drugs, alcoholism and violence! I’ve even turned on my boys (41 & 28), along with my 12yr old Grandson, to the joys of audiobooks...where one uses one’s mind & imagination instead of the mindless drivel of hollycrap!

[@BaldingClamydia]

It's my opinion that this is a limited view. There are good things on TV/in movies currently, but it's better to moderate time between old things and new. Drivel has always existed, and these old stories aren't immune. I've been listening to a lot lately, and I have noticed a few patterns that I don't enjoy, that are found less in more modern fiction. This doesn't mean that I don't like the stories, just that I advise well-rounded reading 😊

[@gingersnap5245]

I concur. Tv is nothing but propaganda. Actors should be getting paid cabbages like in medieval times🤣

[@davideversole9767]

Outstanding. Just found your channel. Look forward to hearing more.

"If we really want to find things out, we have to risk making mistakes" 🤔👍 Edit: Our archaeologists don't really blow their way into places anymore, right? So much risk of ruining anything inside!

[@AlucardNoir]

Thanks.

[@sonjaholmes7163]

old sci fi, so charming with all the cigarettes and lack of computers cellphones and internet.

[@andydensmore5293]

To pulp crazy are there any more of those round robin stories by h beam piper and henry kuttner and Clark ashton smith

[@rtt1961]

H Beam Piper was a great writer.

[@bryine.willis8683]

Nice guy

[@SquirrelASMR]

I was hoping for that to end differently...

[@warplanner8852]

It's a great yarn but, oh my gosh, do the protagonists smoke like Pittsburgh steel factory chimneys! Main lady character doffs her oxygen breathing mask and lights up a Camel? Guess that's the 50s for ya.

[@cuppatea4466]

Yep and also no consideration of whether the smoke could damage archeological artifacts.

[@andydensmore5293]

To the new thinkable if you do have any of the pulp stories and novels by lester dent 1904 / 1959including jui San a doc savage adventuure by lester dent writting as Kenneth Robeson this story is set during World War Two and the clackworthy collection by Christopher g booth( I heard that a few are read by vincent price and el borack and other adventures by robert e howard1906/ 1936

[@stevecharman8420]

What a shame Mars is nothing like the Mars of H. Beam Piper's story.

[@andydensmore5293]

and being a sco fi fan why don't you please add the sci fi pulp stories of Thomas Burke Robinson1894 1964and the horor stories of Amy Fay Clark 1901 /1927and the civil war stories of robert e howard
