The Tachypomp Audiobook (Free)

A young mathematician wants to marry the lovely Abscissa Surd, but her father says he must first prove himself deserving. Professor Surd will only permit the protagonist to marry his daughter if he can either accomplish perpetual movement or faster-than-light travel. “The Tachypomp” is normally a short story for the mathematically-minded. Though initial published anonymously in 1874, science-fiction scholar Sam Moskowitz rediscovered and republished it-along with Mitchell’s other forgotten work-in 1973, therefore repairing him to his rightful put in place contemporary sci-fi discourse.
