Summary: "The Impersonator" by Robert Wicks is a science fiction novel written during the early 1960s. The book explores themes of identity, memory, and the consequences of human actions in the face of global catastrophe. It features the protagonist, Paul Chandler, who grapples with his own identity while facing the imminent threat of massive glaciation and a subsequent ice age, leading a team charged with a daring plan to avert disaster. In the narrative, Paul Chandler awakens in a stark laboratory, unable to recall his previous experiences but instinctively aware of his identity as a geophysicist assigned to lead Project Ice Thaw. Throughout meetings with international delegates, tensions rise over various plans to combat the glaciation, which leads Chandler to propose an audacious concept of tapping into the Earth's core for heat. As political machinations unfold and an unexpected conflict with his colleague Kotenko arises, Chandler's journey culminates in a tense moment when a catastrophic decision is made regarding the project. Ultimately, the story delves deep into the concept of fate, revealing that Chandler's consciousness is part of a larger experiment to save Earth and humanity from destruction, leading to profound philosophical questions about existence and purpose.
