Summary "Double Take" by Richard Wilson is a science fiction short story published in the early 1950s. The narrative centers on Paul Asher, an unsuspecting protagonist who becomes embroiled in a high-stakes scenario involving espionage and interstellar conflict. The story combines elements of adventure and suspense as it explores themes of mistaken identity and the hidden complexities of space travel. In the plot, Paul Asher's life takes a sharp turn when he finds himself steering a car with the enigmatic Naomi, who forces him to cross a frontier and leads him to a disguised spaceship within a barn. There, he is mistaken for a secret agent tasked with delivering sensitive information about a way-station project in space. The story unfolds with Paul navigating the treacherous dynamics between Naomi, a potential ally or enemy, and Hafitz, the commanding figure behind the operation. As Paul discovers his unexpected role, he grapples with his own innocence and the resulting dangers that come with it. Ultimately, the tale reveals not only the thrill of adventure but also the uncertainties of reality as Paul awakes from what he initially believed to be an extraordinary experience, suggesting a continuous loop back to the beginning where he may confront Naomi once again.
