Today’s author, Samuel John Sackett wrote only 6 short sci-fi stories from 1953 to 1955. He spent 25 years as an English Professor. He also wrote a sequel to Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, entitled Huckleberry Finn Grows Up, published in 2012 when he was 84.


Our story today is the last of his 6 sci-fi stories. From Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in October 1955, The Last Plunge by S.J. Sackett


Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast… It was a new and mysterious plant. It could make its own weather; it was sentient, and it prospered on Venus. But Earth needed it desperately. And Bat Kendo, the radar-mutant, was told to bring it in. That’s next week onThe Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
