Blurb: “TIMELINER - Charles Eric Maine
All the laboratory animals used to test the dimensional quadrature device had perished. But Dr. Hugh Macklin was determined to run a low-power test with himself as sub-ject, unaware that one of his associates — and his own wife — had arranged to kill him during the ex-periment. Seconds after the switch had "accidentally" been thrown to full power, Macklin found himself eighty years in the future with a new body and name —on the moon!
It wasn't until he arrived at a point many thousands of years in the future—after several hair-rais-ing adventures-that Macklin encountered a civilization advanced enough to tell him what he was, what had happened. He had become one of the ten or so Time-
liners of the universe, a "psycho-temporal parasite," whom death could not destroy but only send farther into a future to take over someone else's identity.
In all of Macklin's adventures over millennia, there was the "fatal affinity" for the woman who most resembled his wife, Lydia. Ulti-mately, time being a curve and not a straight progression, he finds himself in the most fantastic possible position, listening to the story of his own murder!
