The Mech Fighter by Stuart McIver

A veteran Mech fighter steps into what should be another routine match, only to discover that someone has turned the arena into a death trap with thousands cheering for the bloodshed. If he survives long enough to expose the deception, he’ll have to do it against the deadliest machine he has ever faced. The Mech Fighter by Stuart McIver. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Another 5-star review on Apple Podcasts Canada. Mistercloth says, “Stories to enjoy while in space flight. I have been enjoying these wonderful stories just about every day as I relax in my capsule. Terrific narration!”

Thanks, Mistercloth! We’re grateful for your 5-star rating and wonderful review. Now, about that capsule… we have questions.

There is only one known science fiction story by Stuart McIver, and unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find any other information about him.

We discovered today’s story while searching for Pass the Oxygen by Frank Bryning. In the June 1955 issue of Fantastic Universe, just before Pass the Oxygen, on page 77, we found a story we had never encountered before.

It appears to be Stuart McIver’s only published science fiction story.

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Frank Ridley has been given centuries to live, but the woman he loves may have only decades. To keep her, he must ask her to accept the same extraordinary future that has already separated him from everyone else. Forever is So Long by John Jakes.
