  The Genius of Lancelot Biggs by Nelson S. Bond is one of the most beloved entries in the Lancelot Biggs series—a blend of clever humor, scientific imagination, and classic spacefaring adventure. Biggs is the quintessential “reluctant genius,” a bumbling yet brilliant space engineer whose accidental brilliance repeatedly saves his shipmates aboard the Saturnian Queen. In The Genius of Lancelot Biggs, Bond captures the charm of golden-age science fiction with a comedic twist: Biggs invents improbable solutions to cosmic disasters while maintaining a disarming humility that makes him both heroic and human. 
  The Lancelot Biggs stories first appeared in Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures throughout the 1930s and 1940s, later collected in Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman (1950). The series stood out for mixing slapstick wit and genuine scientific curiosity at a time when pulp sci-fi often leaned heavily on melodrama. Biggs was Bond’s most famous creation—a character whose inventive blunders and bursts of genius inspired later comic sci-fi heroes like Douglas Adams’s Arthur Dent. 
  Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author, playwright, and literary agent whose fiction bridged pulp science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Bond became a prolific contributor to magazines like Blue Book, Amazing Stories, and Astounding Science Fiction. His work often featured strong characterizations and humor, qualities that distinguished him from many of his contemporaries. Beyond Lancelot Biggs, Bond wrote the Meg the Priestess fantasy series and numerous tales of human resilience and irony. Later in life, he turned to radio, television, and theater, earning accolades for his versatility.

  A king's apple tree bore golden apples, but every night, one was stolen. Guards reported that the Firebird stole them. The king told his two oldest sons that the one who caught the bird would receive half his kingdom and be his heir. They drew lots to see who would be first, but both fell asleep; they tried to claim it had not come, but it had stolen an apple. Finally Ivan Tsarevich, the youngest son, asked to try; his father was reluctant because of his youth but consented. Ivan remained awake the entire time, and upon seeing the bird, tried to catch it by the tail. Unfortunately, Ivan only managed to grasp one feather. The Firebird did not return, but the king longed for the bird. He said that still, whoever caught it would have half his kingdom and be his heir...
