Harris, Larry, M: Lost in Translation, v1, 28 September 2009

Larry M. Harris [Laurence M. Janifer] (1933–2002)
Lost in Translation (1961)
Illustrated by Schoenherr (John Schoenherr, b. 1935)

A short story in which a man attempts to stop an alien armed with nothing but logic.

The original blurb:
“In language translation, you may get a literally accurate word-for-word translation ... but miss the meaning entirely. And in space-type translation ... the effect may be the same!”

PG Transcriber’s Note:
This etext was produced from Analog Science Fact & Fiction August 1961. Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.
