| Nov 30, 2011 at 16:08 | comment | added | rhanajoy | Ah, a bit more information. The book IS available on Amazon (two copies, $59 and $102) and on eBay (a signed edition for yikes $400). Danger, Dinosaurs! was also one of the books published as the Winston Science Fiction set (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…). | |

At first I wondered if it could be "A Gun for Dinosaur," which was on X - 1 and I think was re-done on Dimension X (but I'm not sure about that). But it looks like that was not it. Also, it's nice to run into someone else who enjoys OTR. | |
| Sep 11, 2011 at 20:35 | comment | added | John | You are right. It was not on Dimension X or X-1. I have listened to all programs on both series, and have not found this story.

(The story had to have been published at that time or before. The fact that it was a high quality radio production, does not necessarily mean it was a high quality short story, but, based on the r | |
