Summary "Delayed Action" by Charles V. De Vet is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. It explores themes of memory loss, crime, and the manipulation of time within a unique setting on an alien planet, Marlock. The plot centers around the protagonist, Donald Johnson, who finds himself embroiled in a puzzling situation involving his lost memories and a potential criminal he is pursuing. The story unfolds as Johnson experiences a severe memory gap after traversing a mysterious attraction known as Nature’s Moebius Strip. With only his name and the awareness that he is being followed, he struggles to regain his memories while uncovering a deeper conspiracy tied to a series of robberies involving a man who appears unchanged despite the passage of decades. As Johnson navigates the treacherous environment and encounters various characters—including Alton Hawkes, a supposed Secret Service agent—he gradually pieces together his connection to past crimes and the strange phenomenon of time around the Strip. The blend of suspense, intrigue, and science fiction elements culminate in an unexpected twist that challenges perceptions of identity and consequence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
