Archival Adventures: Old Faithful by Raymond Z. Gallun
Archival Adventures: Old Faithful by Raymond Z. Gallun
This week we return to Sam Moskowitz's 1940 list of sci-classics for a story of rebellion against a rigid society and cooperation between Earthlings and Martians. Our 11th tale is “Old Faithful” by Raymond Z. Gallun, a celebrated science fiction author and the namesake of The Gallun Award for Lifetime Achievement in Science Fiction presented by the I-CON Science Fiction convention. Join us as we explore this story that has been called an “instant classic.” Learn more about Gallun here: https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/gallun_raymond_z
