In the scorching sands of Venus’s Scorpion Desert, one man’s dream of striking it rich becomes a desperate fight for survival. “Prospector’s Special” by Robert Sheckley is a gripping sci-fi adventure that blends biting satire with raw human determination. When Tom Morrison’s sandcar fails and his supplies dwindle, he must face Venus’s deadly terrain—and his own ambition—armed with nothing but grit and a bizarre robotic mailman. A tense, ironic, and ultimately thought-provoking tale of fortune, failure, and what really matters in the end.
