LibriVox recording of The Dueling Machine, by Ben Bova. Read by Gregg Margarite (1957-2012).
The Dueling Machine is the solution to settling disputes without injury. After you and your opponent select weapons and environments you are injected into an artificial reality where you fight to the virtual death… but no one actually gets hurt. That is, until a warrior from the Kerak Empire figures a way to execute real-world killings from within the machine. Now its inventor Dr. Leoh has to prevent his machine from becoming a tool of conquest. – The Dueling Machine, written with Myron R. Lewis, first appeared in the May, 1963 issue of Analog Science Fact & Fiction. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

Imagine if someone (like your boss!) got on your nerves, you could challenge that person to a duel to the death in a machine. No one died, and wins were legally binding. Sign me up! :-)
Unfortunately, the bad guys figure out a way to actually kill from within the machine. Can the inventor figure out how before someone else is killed?
Good story, thanks Gregg!

THis story was just a little too short, and could have been developed a bit more but it was still pretty good. Gregg Margarite ALWAYS does a good job reading, and this story is no exception!
