A little about the story
It’s Quiz Night on live television, and the host is bounding onto the stage. But one contestant seems to know far too much, including all about Mars. The prize on offer is bigger than anyone in the audience imagines.
Ib Melchior’s short story uses the 1950s game-show craze for a sharp science-fiction twist. It’s a quick, clever read from the pulp magazine Fantastic Universe.
