Not in Our Stars
by Conrad Arthur Skinner
After a meteor strike and some scientific mumbo-jumbo, Felix Menzies wakes up in a jail
cell on the day before his execution for murdering the man he wrongly thought was his
wife’s lover—an act he doesn’t remember—, and then he starts waking up on each
previous morning, whereupon he begins to think he can cheat Destiny by not murdering the
guy in the first place.
— Michael Main
If he did meet Savile, he was prepared to shake hands with him in the old way, and to
realize what a neurotic fool he had been: also that Destiny had made an idiot of itself
with the careless blundering born of the knowledge that nobody would ever know, nobody,
that is, except himself; and, of course, Destiny safely relied on the assumption that
nobody would believe him.
