| Summary | "The Time Armada" by Fox B. Holden is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story follows Congressman Douglas Blair, a former physicist, who is grappling with complex political issues while also experimenting with a mysterious gadget of his own invention that may allow him to see into the past. As Blair struggles to resolve political turmoil, he inadvertently transports himself and his wife, Dorothy, to a bizarre future where they encounter their doppelgängers and face the implications of time travel. The opening of the novel introduces us to Blair, who is tired and overwhelmed by political dilemmas, particularly the contentious McKenny bill. As he engages in a contemplative discussion with his friend Carl during a dreary car ride home, Blair muses on the moral implications of their world and his failed ambition to become an astronaut. After arriving home and tinkering with his invention, the Contraption, he and Dorothy are unexpectedly swept into a different reality where they have taken on entirely new identities. This sets the stage for a narrative exploring the themes of identity, time, and the human condition against the backdrop of a futuristic society that challenges their understanding of advancement and morality.
