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

@tg dom nemo thank you for listening. If you haven't already done so I hope you'll subscribe so our channel so you never miss one of our short sci-fi stories!
I love this channel. You pick the best lost sci-fi stories. There's lots of great sci-fi that have been forgotten. There's also lots of lost sci-fi that was rubbish. You pick the best ones
@Craig Warner Thank you so much!! There are literally thousands of these stories and as long as I am physically able to do so I will narrate them. When I started doing this about a year ago I searched and came to the conclusion that many of these stories had never been available as audiobooks. So, I came up with the name Lost Sci-Fi and started narrating. As far as picking the best stories I do the best I can, your comment is validation that it's working so thank you!
Really taut. ❤
Sackett is not a well known author but I really enjoyed this story, I'm glad you did too!
Do you know what amazed me about this story? There wasn't a single comment about the morality of what they were doing. I guess people saw things a little differently back then.
@peterlablanche8211 interesting point. I never even thought about it, but of course, I am focused on bringing the authors story to life. Thanks for listening!!
Great observation. Feel refreshing to think people accepted that most other people know right vs wrong, so they didn't feel the need to 'help' everyone by sharing their superior ideas.
Maybe they didn't have their government and media pounding the idea that people were bad and only kept in line by thru their governance.
Could be that? Whatever the reason, I agree with you.
Sometimes human exceptionalism was assumed. Other times (or such is my impression), the social commentary was more liberal ... but subtle.
Non spoiler below. Rnding that didnt happen.
I expected, if casualties more common, that the air lions were hunting humans. With a similar reward incentive. And risk scenario.
Interesting observation @brucebaker810. Thanks for sharing and thank you for listening!!
Spoiler ahead: resolved good endings are sometimes nice to see-hear-read. There are too many nasty twists in sci-fi and horror. I just wonder if the format of Twilight Zone is partly to blame.
I knew the ending when I was in the booth narrating this one because I read every story in advance so there won't be any surprises. I'm with you, I liked the way this one ended.
@@VintageSciFiAudiobooks Yes. And yes.
I think it was pretty common in pulps...which preceded Twilight Zone. The crash landing that turned out to be Adam and Eve or the mean aliens that turned out to be humans were pretty common.
These hunters are dodos.
Thank you @brucebaker810 👍👍 and thank you for listening!! 🤗🤗🤗
