| Summary | "Worlds of the Imperium" by Keith Laumer is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around Brion Bayard, who finds himself thrust into a dangerous alternate reality where his double is a notorious dictator. Tasked with an assignment to impersonate his double and eliminate him, Brion's mission quickly complicates as he grapples with moral dilemmas and the implications of his actions in this new world. The opening of the book introduces Brion Bayard as he navigates the streets of medieval Stockholm, aware he's being followed. After a tense encounter with a mysterious figure, he is kidnapped and awakens in an unfamiliar scenario where he meets Chief Captain Winter, an officer of the Imperium. As Winter explains the existence of alternate realities and the significance of Brion’s identity to their mission, Brion is faced with a choice that challenges his ideals and thrusts him into a web of political intrigue. The opening sets the stage for a gripping exploration of identity, duty, and the moral complexities of power in a multi-dimensional universe. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
