The Inquisitor by Robert Silverberg - Science Fiction Grand Master Robert Silverberg Short Story

It wasn't that Kroll enjoyed watching the traitors broken in body and spirit. But why did they keep insisting they were innocent before—The Inquisitor. By Robert Silverberg, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Science Fiction Grand Master Robert Silverberg has been on the podcast many times with The Mystery of Deneb IV , Never Trust a Thief, Planet of the Angry Giants, Monsters that Once Were Men and several others. He returns today with a short story from December 1956 that appeared in Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy . We often hear from listeners who say they don’t understand why authors use pen names. This issue is a great example. Robert Silverberg actually wrote three stories that appeared in this issue. No magazine editor wanted one author to appear multiple times in a single magazine, readers might not like it. So the solution was simple, use a different name, or in this case names. The Alien Dies at Dawn , which you will hear on the podcast in the not too distant future, was credited to Alexander Blade but was written by Silverberg, as was Lair of the Dragonbird . On page 106 of the December 1956 of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantas y we will find today’s story, The Inquisitor By Robert Silverberg… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Orthedrin, maxiton and glutamic acid—they were the prescription that made him king of his world!
