Weinbaum and Mercury, Weinbaum stories on line
Marcus L. Rowland
can't seem to find any mention of Mercury. I'm assuming that his
version, if he'd written anything set there, would have been pretty much
like other SF authors of the early thirties - searing hot, tidally
locked, lots of metals, etc. Is there anything I'm missing from this?
If anyone missed my earlier posts on rec.arts.sf.fandom, in preparation
for the Weinbaum RPG I've put quite a few of his stories on line since
they are out of European copyright:

Uhm ... hm. I don't *remember* a Weinbaum Mercury story, but
that's not really definitive. On the other hand, he did use the
fixed-hemisphere gimmick for his Venus stories; maybe he didn't have
an original twist to use for Mercury?
Thanks for the roster of Weinbaum stories on Project Gutenberg.
At least one of his stories --- I think 'The Adaptive Ultimate' --- got
turned into a Dimension X or X Minus One script too, which might be
interesting to listen to.
