\\u201cYou ask us of Mars for a weapon to save your world. We have it\\u2013but it is not for you Earthman. Men may die and planets perish, but we break not the law of the universe\\u2013Every civilization must work out its own destiny!\\u201d The Weapon by Isaac Asimov, that\\u2019s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

When we started The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast a little over two years ago we had no idea what to expect, would anybody listen? Would anybody care? That\\u2019s why you\\u2019re overwhelming worldwide support means so much to us.

Curious Jon showed his support by buying us 3 coffees. Thanks Curious Jon. If you would like to buy us a coffee there\\u2019s a link in the description.

We get more requests for today\\u2019s author than anybody else. He was 18 years old when he wrote this story in 1938, it wasn\\u2019t published until 1942, under a pseudonym. Perhaps because he used a pseudonym he forgot that this story was ever published and so, assuming it had been rejected and believing he no longer had a copy of it he didn\'t include it in a collection of his earliest stories in 1972. In that book he listed today\\u2019s story among the eleven of his short stories that has been lost forever.

Seven years later in 1979 while writing the first volume of his autobiography he came across an entry in his diary that reminded him that the story had indeed been published.

This story truly is \\u201clost sci-fi\\u201d. From the pages of Super Science Stories in May 1942, let\\u2019s turn to page 115. H. B. Ogden was credited in the publication with having written this story, but we know that it was really written by a legendary sci-fi author, The Weapon by Isaac Asimov\\u2026

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, To the mighty lords of infinity he sent a burning message\\u2013\\u201cYou can deny a man everything\\u2013everything but his heritage\\u2026 the stars!\\u201d Outcast of the Stars by Ray Bradbury.
