The Homesteader by James Blish

A hard-nosed troubleshooter arrives on the Moon to investigate vanished rocketships, only to stumble onto a secret no human was ever meant to find. Amid lunar dust and deceptive calm, he uncovers a stranger living alone… and a truth that rewrites everything. The Homesteader by James Blish. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. James Blish is best remembered for works like A Case of Conscience which won the Hugo Award in 1959 for Best Novel, and for his influential Cities in Flight series. We have featured just one of Blish’s stories so far on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, King of the Hill, released a little over two years ago. From Thrilling Wonder Stories in June 1939, turn to page 135 for, The Homesteader by James Blish.… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The Roggs have finally surrendered, and an old freedom fighter sits across the table from the alien who once held his life in a whip’s shadow. On humanity’s long-awaited day of victory, one last, unexpected gesture will decide what kind of people we’ve truly become. Day Of Reckoning by Morton Klass.
