In a future where predictability reigns supreme, advanced computers can forecast the outcomes of wars before a single shot is fired. However, they foresee a grim stalemate between the Terran and Centaurian Empires. What they desperately require is an element of unpredictability, and that’s precisely what they get when Thomas Cole, a man from the past, is inadvertently thrust into their time. Can he disrupt their calculated predictions, or is he merely another variable in a game of chance? Discover the thrilling tale of The Variable Man, originally published in the September 1953 issue of Space Science Fiction magazine. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)
