| Summary |
"Dictator of Time" by Nelson S. Bond is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Larry Wilson and Sandra Day, who unexpectedly find themselves transported to the year 25,983 A.D. after a mysterious temporal shift. They become entangled in a conflict against the precarious society ruled by a small, powerful intellect named Harg-Ofortu, who aims to exploit them for scientific knowledge. The opening of the novel introduces us to Larry, who is rushing to catch his train in Philadelphia when things take a bizarre turn. He unexpectedly tumbles into a gray void, awakening on a strange grassy plain alongside Sandra, with no idea of where they are. As they attempt to comprehend their situation, they encounter Harg, a diminutive scientist who reveals their transportation to a distant future. As events unfold, Larry and Sandra rapidly realize they are not merely trapped in time but are being hunted by Harg, who intends to use them for his experiments. Their plight leads to introspection and action as they organize a rebellion with the help of an unexpected ally against Harg's oppressive rule for survival and freedom.
