The general was bucking for his other star\u2013and this miserable contraption bucked right back! Doorstep by Keith Laumer, that\u2019s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Doorstep marks the debut of Keith Laumer on the podcast. Laumer was born in Syracuse New York in 1925. Before becoming a full-time writer, he was an officer in the United States Air Force during World War II and a diplomat in the United States Foreign Service.

He is perhaps best known for the character James Retief, a cynical spacefaring diplomat, who is based or at the very least inspired in part on Laumer\u2019s service as a diplomat. We will meet Mr. Retief in future episodes of the podcast.

Was today\u2019s story influenced by Laumer\u2019s time in the military? We\u2019ll let you decide. Let\u2019s peruse the pages of the February 1961 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine and on page 64 we will find Doorstep by Keith Laumer\u2026

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The fey Mr. Young continues his scholarly researches in the scientific origins of our myth and legend with this tale of an agile\u2014and avaricious\u2014one-man Boarding Party. Boarding Party by Robert F. Young.
