On this time we have a brand new Five Minute Mystery where diamonds are stolen and a murder committed. Then Jason Dowd joins us for The Paranormal With Jason. We talk about a frightening adventure sent in by Spencer Johnson titled Mantis Man. We end the program with the conclusion to last week's epic science fiction tale The Misplaced Battleship. Featured Story - The Misplaced Battle Ship Our featured story this week is the Conclusion to The Misplaced Battleship. The work was originally published in the April, 1960 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. If you missed parts one and two you can listen to it .  Last week we met James DiGriss AKA the Stainless Steel Rat. He was a con man of skill, but was caught by Special Corps and given the choice of prison or becoming one of their agents. His first assignment was to track down and recover a missing space faring battleship. He heads to the second planet of a B star in Corona Borealis, where he impersonates a General to get to the bottom of the mystery. After much research James discovers an inspired master criminal. His name is Pepe Nero and his accomplice is a girl named Angelina. He thanked the people of Corona Borealis and parted with these words, “The League fleet is already closing in on the renegades and you will be informed of the capture. Thank you for your assistance."
