Klaatu Barada Nikto, But Gnut Ruled the Day

Welcome to The Rocketeer Podcast—your weekly dive into the slickest stories ever printed on cheap paper! This week, Podcast #58Farewell to the Master” by Harry Bates. This 1940 novelette, from the pages of Astounding Science-Fiction (Stories), is the basis for the 1951 movie, “The Day the Earth Stood Still” with Michael Rennie. Klaatu Barada Nikto!

I’m delighted to be part of the “Based Books Genre Sale: Alternative History” for the first time! The eBook of my illustrated novelette, Incorruptible (pulp dystopian sci-fi), will be on sale for $0.99 from 3/19-3/25/2025 on Amazon, so grab one while you can at the low price! And check out the other fab authors in the sale. I’m going to. 😊

As mentioned in the podcast, my year’s picking up to a tremendous pace and it’s just March! I realize this sounds arrogant but you’ll see; I have book releases coming out in crazy pacing this year, I’ll more than double the books I have in print by the end of it and then there’s my paper are Seattle WorldCon … well, you’ll see. In order to make sense of it all for myself (and you), I’ve repurposed one of my websites: saralightwaller.com as a clearinghouse for all the news from lucinapress.com (books), flyingponystudios.com (art), and the Rocketeer podcast here on Substack. The site won’t be more than short snippets and bullet points directing you to longer posts, videos, and reviews, but it’ll be the quick serve menu.

Catch you the flip side, Space Explorers!
