In the 1960s, Cordwainer Smith was a star of the science-fiction firmament,
but the tales stopped in 1966 when a fatal heart attack felled the man behind
the pseudonym, Paul Linebarger, an American professor born in China and an
expert on psychological warfare. His books have been brought back into print by
fans. Now his daughter and a recording engineer have brought his voice back from
the grave with a tape on which he dictated his short story On the Sand Planet.
The sound quality remains far below a modern recording, but the two-CD set is
the closest you’ll ever get to the writer. Available for $24.95 from
