A silent ship drifts where no human craft should ever be, carrying the final moments of a journey that went terribly wrong. As the truth comes into focus, one question remains—what broke first: the machine, or the people trapped inside it? The Derelict of Space by William Thurmond and Ray Cummings. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

William T. Thurmond wrote one story that was published and there is no other information about his life. Ray Cummings was a prolific science fiction author who’s stories were published for almost 50 years.

Our story was first published in Wonder Stories Quarterly in the Fall 1931 issue on page 98, The Derelict of Space by William Thurmond and Ray Cummings…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A discovery meant for museums turns deadly when something ancient refuses to stay buried and begins hunting the living.
