DISCOVER NINE ADDITIONAL UNEARTHED TALES FROM THE 1950S, '60S, & '70S IN JOHN HAYDEN HOWARD'S (1925-2014) REAWAKENED WORLDS: MORE VINTAGE DYSTOPIAN AND SCI-FI STORIES BY A MASTER STORYTELLER, VOLUME TWO!
The timeless allure of Hayden Howard's storytelling is evident even a half-century later, skillfully merging subtle humor, distinctive characters, and extraordinary settings with technology that, even today, feels remarkably ahead of its time.
Written between the 1950s and '70s and compiled by Laurie Winslow Sargent, these thought-provoking tales wrap ecopolitical concerns of that era-energy conservation, the space race, and spies-in futuristic and interplanetary stories.

"Kendy," a student is lured to a strange California university; in "500 Points for Father Image," a computer chooses the President; and in "Counterattack," a CEO is deceived by a Venusian twin.
PART TWO: TOUCHY TECHNOLOGY
In "I've Got to Save JFK," an inventor's future-altering laser changes 1993, while in "March of Time" and "Breakout," inventions go awry.
PART THREE: COSMIC ECOPOLITICS
In "Oil-Mad Bug-Eyed Monsters," an alien poses as a California oil company man; in "To Grab Power," a bodyguard craves control; and in "The Last Surfer," a dystopian government employee rebels to save Earth's natural resources.
