STRAIGHT FROM THE AUTHOR'S ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS REAWAKENED WORLDS: Vintage Dystopian and Sci-fi Stories by a Master Storyteller is the first volume in a collection of short stories and novelettes by John Hayden Howard (1925-2014), known to fans as Hayden Howard. A well-regarded contemporary of such science fiction icons as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert Heinlein, he was a 1967 Nebula Award finalist. Written in the classic science fiction era of the 1950s and '60s, these stories have out-of-this-world endings reminiscent of The Twilight Zone episodes from the same time. Readers encounter diverse characters, from a teen surfer and a 1940s boxer to space travelers and strange Arctic villagers. Thought-provoking themes create a unique blend of escapism and intellectual stimulation. STRAIGHT FROM THE AUTHOR'S ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS In Part 1, WHAT IF, life-altering choices and surprises await a professor in ?The Tragedy of Henry Diddoh,? a 1940s prize-fighter and time-traveler in ?Ten Rounds for the All-Time Champ,? and a citizen in a dystopian future in ?We Specialists.? In Part 2, STRANGE ENCOUNTERS ON EARTH, readers are kept on edge with unexpected discoveries by a teen California surfer in ?Gremmie?s Reef,? a New Mexico archeologist in ?The Butcher,? and a Canadian Arctic researcher among bizarre villagers in ?Arctic Invasion.? In Part 3, INTERPLANETARY TALES, a dog causes trouble on Mars in ?Haranu,? and a massive anti-gravity battle ensues between rival spaceship crews in ?Mutiny in the Orbit of Uranus.? Whether you're a fan of classic science fiction or just looking for a wild ride, Howard's imaginative worlds will leave you questioning what's possible.
