Forum: Lost Stories

I do not remember the name of the story or author.

What I do remember is a very rich single man is unmarried and wants a wife. A friend that he went to high school and university with was the marketing director his corporation. He suggested that 1000 women be selected to be contestants for a TV show and a wife could be found to be the wife of his friend. The woman were selected and the show started.

That was the major points I remember. Also I don't know if this was an SOL story or from another site.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

It has been a while since I've read it, but your description sounds vaguely like A King. and His Queens by Lazlo Zalezac.

I recall a possible match. The guy travels constantly and is a genius in many different fields and wants someone who can keep up with him. So the contestants find themselves in the desert, in the jungle, on an ocean research ship, and needing encyclopedic knowledge.
