Last Enemy

by H. Beam Piper

In H. Beam Piper's 'Last Enemy', Verkan Vall, a member of the Paratime Police, is tasked with rescuing a fellow agent who has gone missing on an undercover mission in a parallel universe. This alternate reality is a dangerous place where assassination is a respected profession and reincarnation is a scientific reality. Vall must navigate this strange world filled with killers and the undead, facing deadly challenges as he searches for his missing colleague. The novel blends elements of science fiction, action, and mystery, exploring themes of alternate realities, time travel, and the complexities of morality in a universe where death is not always the end.
