The WEAPON SHOPS of ISHER

Chapters 6-10 inclusive of The WEAPON SHOPS of ISHER by A. E. van Vogt, as published in the February 1949 edition of Thrilling Wonder Stories magazine. Narrated by Samuel Charles Smyth, May, 2022. The WEAPON SHOPS of ISHER, as a novelette, a minor example of a "fix-up", in itself, is the third and the longest of the stories that became incorporated into the "fix-up" novel The WEAPON SHOPS of ISHER, published by Greenberg, in 1951.

Please add part numbers to graphics for phone users. Otherwise thanks, good books well read, clearly spoken.

I'd thought to do that, for other reasons, then decided not to, for reasons that escape me --that make sense -- at the moment, but can say that better compatibility with the phone experience, wasn't one of them :-) They're better books than many critics say. The problem for me, is that van Vogt had a small handful of motifs to exploit, and he over exploited them by the time I got to Ā. Star Trek gets away with this to an extent, because: As vampires are to horror and urban fantasy; the Regency period is to Romance; Star Trek is to Sc-Fi. Thanks for the compliments :-)
