Summary "Kill Me If You Can!" by S. M. Tenneshaw is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The book explores an oppressive society on the planet Apollyon, where the assassination of the ruling Autarch is a ritual that occurs every five years. The story revolves around Rad Bartol, who is unwittingly chosen to act as a double for the current Autarch and must navigate a deadly game of deception and survival amidst political intrigue and advanced technology. In the narrative, Bartol initially struggles against the implanted hypnosis that forces him to fulfill his role as the Autarch while simultaneously grappling with the knowledge that his life is at stake. As assassins target him and chaos ensues within the Grand Palace, Bartol's resourcefulness and quick thinking allow him to shed his designated persona and take control of the situation. He ultimately discovers a conspiratorial plot involving the Autarch and the so-called Peace Commander, leading to a climax where he confronts the puppet master behind the tyranny of Apollyon. The story combines elements of suspense, action, and satire, revealing a commentary on power and the manipulation of authority. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
