I have recently discovered Wilson Tucker's work and am surprised I had not encountered him before and that so little of his material has been reprinted.
Time Bomb is a mystery. It takes place during a time when a populist
is starting to set up for a takeover of the American government in an
attempt to become dictator. This may sound familiar to some. But in this case, a number of his supporters have fallen victim to strange untraceable explosions.... or... maybe implosions. A police telepath is brought out to investigate and can't figure out exactly what is goine on, but he suspects somehow the operation of an actual time machine. Lieutenant Danforth of
the Security Police investigates.
I think this is very much a book for our time if only because of the background situation. The scince in it is pretty doubtful at best, but
the characters and situations work well. Recommended.
