Three SF Short Stories by Paul W. Fairman

Paul W. Fairman

Three SF Short Stories by Paul W. Fairman features three distinct tales exploring themes of alien encounters and moral dilemmas. Written in the mid-20th century, the stories include 'Deadly City,' where a man wakes in darkness with a painful head injury; 'Secrets of the Martians,' which delves into the fear of unseen Martians after a colonist's death; and 'Traitor's Choice,' where a character must choose between defying aliens or sacrificing a planet. Fairman's work is notable for its early contributions to the science fiction genre.
