A sharp and fast-moving blend of time travel, political tension, and speculative intrigue from Keith Laumer.
In A Hoax in Time, a temporal disruption becomes more than a scientific anomaly-it becomes a geopolitical crisis. When history itself appears to have been manipulated, suspicion spreads and alliances strain under the weight of uncertainty. As competing powers scramble to interpret-or exploit-the anomaly, one man must unravel the truth before manufactured history becomes permanent reality.
Laumer delivers brisk pacing and tactical clarity, combining time-travel paradox with Cold War-era suspicion and strategic maneuvering. The result is a tightly constructed science fiction thriller that balances intellectual puzzle with high-stakes action.
