About this audiobook
Professor Chalmers is teaching a class when he lets slip that a Middle Eastern leader was assassinated in 1973. His students laugh. As far as they know, nothing of the kind has happened. Chalmers seems to remember events that, for everyone else, have not happened yet.
H. Beam Piper's science fiction story first appeared in Amazing Stories in 1957. Charles Conover reads it. A quiet, unsettling story about a man who remembers a world that may never have existed, and about the people who think he is ill.
For readers who like their science fiction thoughtful and a little unnerving.
