About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Runaway Skyscraper, by Murray Leinster. Read by Gregg Margarite (1957-2012). Arthur Chamberlain has problems. His one-man engineering firm is faltering and his pretty secretary Estelle barely notices him. But these problems are put aside when his Manhattan office building falls into the fourth dimension. Madison Square is filled with wigwams and it’s up to Arthur to engineer a way to make his building to fall back to the future. – The Runaway Skyscraper first appeared in the February 22, 1919 issue of Argosy magazine.
