Doomsday Deferred by Murray Leinster

Deep in the Brazilian jungle, a terrified family has found a way to bargain with something no human being was meant to bargain with. When an American naturalist realizes who—or what—is demanding payment, he begins to understand how easily an army of tiny creatures could become something far more dangerous. Doomsday Deferred by Murray Leinster. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Murray Leinster is one of my favorite authors and this is the 12th story written by Leinster that we have featured on the podcast.

First published in The Saturday Evening Post, September 24, 1949, Doomsday Deferred by Murray Leinster…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Arthur Holly thinks he has found the surest bet in horse racing when a brilliant scientist discovers how to make an aging nag run like a champion. The scheme works beautifully, but every race leaves their fortune riding on one very fragile piece of technology. Replace the Horse by Laurence M. Janifer.
