Time Pawn first appeared in Thrilling Wonder Stories in June,1954. Under pressure from his publishers, Dick expanded the story into a full length novel - Doctor Futurity. The original is an excellent story but most critics agree that the expanded version was not a success. Here then, as far as can be determined from extensive research, is the first re-publication of the original gem of a novella, filled with the excitement, excellent pacing, and food for thought one can expect from a Philip K Dick work. Minor updates and alterations have been made to the text so as not to interrupt the flow and believability of the story. Technological and otherwise distracting references - such as feeding tape into a computer - have been updated. The plot and characters remain unchanged.
