- Conquest Over Time (novella) by Michael Shaara
"Now this here planet," he said cautiously, "is whacky in a lot of ways. First of all they call it Mert. Just plain Mert. And they live in houses strictly from Dickens, all carriages, no sewers, narrow streets, stuff like that." But that wasn't all... Travis, in reaching Diomed III before any others, found himself waging a one-man fight against more than this...
What was the startling secret of Diomed III that almost caused Travis to lose his life? And who was Lappy?

very original story! really enjoyed this one, thanks!
He’s facing death and he’s constantly thinking about how gorgeous a woman is. Provides an insight into male thinking.
You don't need astrology to tell you that when big-business arrives on your planet... your fucked. An inauspicious day indeed.
Quite imaginative.

Sounds a lot like Ed Bishop.
The highly ambiguous renditions of a less than precise translator, coupled with its decidedly archaic speech patterns, made for thoroughly amusing, if at times somewhat baffling dialogues. Really enjoyed this one.
Your unnecessarily verbose comment, generously peppered with the odd vocabulary words to convey such a humbly simple idea gave such an amusing perception of how you must be the sort who fancies himself an intellectual despite how it in fact seems gaudy and services more to paint thine own self as a narcissistic dunce of immeasurable ego.
I do hereby decree, with utmost sincerity, that before you find your feathers ruffled, and feelings being flustered, that I merely offered such comment in jest. Purely innocent mockery all in good fun, and with careful tailoring of my own reply to be a challenge to my own self to reciprocate in kind with such verbiage as a manner of sport. Good show, ol' chap!

Crock
I quit after the 9th description of how their society is ruled by astrology.
quitters never win, and winners never quit!
@BSG Vlog, As it surely was foretold.
Without giving away the ending, astrology bites them in the ass. Come back and give it a listen.
Its literally science fiction - 6 years ago you were a real dipshit. Hopefully you progressed to dumbass.
Boring
I like this reader, he is good. Anyone know who he is?
