Summary "Out of Nowhere" by E. A. Grosser is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The book explores the themes of time travel and dictatorship, focusing on a character named Valnar, who comes from a future timeline and is tasked with addressing the chaos he inadvertently caused in a previous visit. The story delves into the implications of his powers and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters involved in resisting an oppressive regime led by a dictator named Dodson. The narrative centers on Joel Barlow, who, along with his companion Laurine, navigates a world under Dodson's tyrannical control influenced by a mind-altering "Mental Ray." Their struggle intensifies when Barlow encounters Valnar again, who initially seems to offer assistance but holds secrets that complicate their plans. The story culminates in a showdown against Dodson and his forces, leading to unexpected consequences for both Barlow's group and Valnar. Ultimately, the characters confront their fates as they grapple with issues of power, freedom, and the nature of time itself, offering readers a thrilling exploration of resistance against tyranny.
