Summary:
Two classics by Hugo-winning author Philip K. Dick performed by award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti.
"The Defenders" is a 1953 science fiction short story by American author Philip K. Dick and the basis for Dick's 1964 novel The Penultimate Truth. It is one of several of his short stories to be expanded into a novel. The short story was first published in the January 1953 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction.
"Breakfast at Twilight": Unlike most of Dick's fiction, this short story has a positive and potentially optimistic ending. When they come back to their own time continuum during a bombing, and right before their house is atomized, the members of a family are conscious of what may happen and are willing to do all they can to avoid the future.
At the end of the story, the words spoken by Tim McLean, the head of the family, rekindle the hope that men can work for a better future. Tim reassures his amazed and worried neighbors by saying that the damage to his house was caused by some problems with the central heating. Then he comments, "I should have got it fixed.... I should have had it looked at a long time ago. Before it got in such bad shape...before it was too late."
