Worlds of the Imperium

Rating:
Summary: Good but not his best
Review: A fast-paced, alternate universe story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This still doesn't read dated, and the story was done before Philip K. Dick did 'The Man In The High Castle.' Sorry, Phil, he beat you to it.

Summary: Well-written parallel universe story
Review: Brion Bayard, a perfecrly normal guy from our world, isn't too amused when he is trapped and kidnapped by the inhabitants of a parallel universe inhabited with the same persons as ours, but with another history. His mind changes, as he learns to know what essential task he is needed for: The peaceful world of his hosts is in danger of being atomically devastated by invaders from another parallel world. This world is ruled by an evil dictator, with the name and the look of - Brion Bayard. The kidnapped Brion is destined to replace the dictator, but this is anything else but an easy task - and nothing is like it seems to be... This isn't one of the best Laumers (and definitely not as good as his Retief stories), but worth a look or two. For Laumer fans a must.

Summary: The 1962 ace double novel version.
Review: I have not read any other editions of this novel other than the 1962 Ace Double Novel edition.

Worlds of the Imperium is a classic story of alternate worlds and what one man must face when confronted by his alternate self. A short but nicely done story that heralded Laumer's later works.
