Duel on Syrtis by Poul Anderson Episode #74
Poul Anderson
Bold and ruthless, he was famed throughout the System as a big-game hunter. From the firedrakes of Mercury to the ice-crawlers of Pluto, he’d slain them all. But his trophy-room lacked one item; and now Riordan swore he’d bag the forbidden game that roamed the red deserts … a Martian! Duel on Syrtis by Poul Anderson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
Today’s episode of the podcast marks the debut of Poul Anderson. Anderson was no ordinary science fiction author. He has been called ”one of the five or six most important writers to appear during the science-fiction publishing boom of the decade following the end of World War II.”
To call him prolific would be a vast understatement. His wife, Karen, said she did not know how many books he wrote, saying. ”We lost count after 100.” As for short stories, I stopped counting at 150.
