The Mindwarpers (1965) by Eric Frank Russell

30 May 2022

A story about a government scientist that finds himself on the run when he overhears new evidence has been found in a 20-year-old murder he committed. The story doesn't have any twists or surprises, which would happen with a modern version of this tale. This tale plays more like North by Northwest, with the main character Richard Bransome doing his best to avoid authorities and stumbling into some action as he goes. Better than I expected, and short/light enough not to overstay it's welcome. 4/5
