"Jamieson" by William R. Doede is a science fiction novel likely written during the late 20th century, specifically around the 1960s. The book explores themes of identity, revenge, and the moral implications of advanced technology through the lens of its protagonist, Mrs. Jamieson, and her son. The story delves into the lives of a group of individuals who possess a powerful teleportation device known as the Konv, developed by Mrs. Jamieson's deceased husband, illustrating the dark consequences of living in a society that fears and persecutes them. The narrative primarily follows Mrs. Jamieson as she navigates her painful past after the murder of her husband at the hands of federal Agents. She raises their son, Earl, in a small Wisconsin home, unaware of his inheritance of the Konv's power. As Earl matures, he learns of his father's legacy and the conflict between the Konvs and the Agents, ultimately grappling with his identity. The tension escalates as Earl seeks revenge against those responsible for his father's death, while Mrs. Jamieson's obsession with hatred towards the Agents threatens their safety. The climax builds to a confrontation with these Agents, leading to a poignant resolution that questions the nature of love, hate, and the choices made in the pursuit of vengeance.
