Summary "Bodyguard" by Christopher Grimm is a science fiction story published in the mid-20th century, specifically in the February 1956 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. The narrative blends elements of suspense and futuristic intrigue, focusing on a character named Gabriel Lockard, who finds himself in a perilous situation leading to the involvement of body-swapping and existential threats. The book explores themes of identity, beauty, and the consequences of one's choices in a universe where physical appearance can be traded like currency. The plot revolves around Gabriel Lockard, a strikingly handsome man whose arrogance leads him into trouble at a bar. He attracts the attention of a nondescript man who seems to be his bodyguard, though their relationship is far more complex. As Gabe navigates a series of confrontations and unfortunate events, including a crash that ties him to the mysterious bodyguard, readers are exposed to a world governed by dangerous games involving body-swapping, legal and illegal dealings, and interpersonal struggles. The story unfolds as various characters attempt to reclaim their identities and bodies, culminating in a climactic confrontation that tests their morals and relationships. In the end, Gabriel finds himself in a familiar body but grapples with the realization that even when restored to his original form, the shadows of past decisions loom large over his future.
