Summary "The Rat Race" by Jay Franklin is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Lt. Commander Frank Jacklin, who, after an atomic explosion aboard his battleship, awakens to find himself in the body of a dissolute stockbroker named Winnie Tompkins. Jacklin struggles to adjust to his new life, navigating through a twisted blend of intrigue, politics, and complicated relationships with women as he tries to unravel the mystery of his own identity and the whereabouts of the real Tompkins. The opening of "The Rat Race" presents an intense scenario where Jacklin, while serving on the U.S.S. Alaska, experiences a catastrophic event that leads him to wake up in an unfamiliar and decadent world. Confused and disoriented, he grapples with the shocking reality of impersonating a man whose life is filled with complexity and distractions, including three women—his wife, a mistress, and a secretary—who complicate his newfound existence. As Jacklin attempts to fit into Tompkins' life while using his knowledge of impending disasters, he quickly realizes the challenges of maintaining his cover in a world where political secrets and personal betrayals are intertwined.
