| Summary |
"Horsesense Hank in the Parallel Worlds" by Nelson S. Bond is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The book explores the concept of time travel and alternate realities through the eyes of the protagonist, Horsesense Hank Cleaver, who uses his remarkable common-sense reasoning to confront complex scientific problems. The story delves into the nature of time and existence, posing philosophical questions about fate and the consequences of our choices. In the narrative, Hank Cleaver decides to build a time machine after an argument regarding whether events in history are predestined or can be changed. His desire to travel back in time leads to unexpected complications when he and his friend Jim Blakeson accidentally create parallel versions of themselves. As the characters navigate through various alternate realities, they encounter different historical scenarios that showcase what might have been had pivotal moments in history occurred differently. With humor and insight, the novel not only serves as an entertaining adventure but also challenges readers to contemplate the nature of choices, causality, and the vast possibilities of existence.
