Gun for Hire
Mack Reynolds
Book Overview:
A gun is an interesting weapon; it can be hired, of course, and naturally doesn't care who hires it. Something much the same can be said of the gunman, too.

Reston-Farrell said, "I am afraid, Mr. Salviati-Prantera, that these are the only garments available. I suggest you look out the window there."
Joe gave him a long, chill look and then stepped to the window. He couldn't figure the other. Unless he was a fruitcake. Maybe he was in some kind of pressure cooker and this was one of the fruitcakes.
He looked out, however, not on the lawns and walks of a sanitarium but upon a wide boulevard of what was obviously a populous city.
And for a moment again, Joe Prantera felt the depths of nausea.
This was not his world.
He stared for a long, long moment. The cars didn't even have wheels, he noted dully. He turned slowly and faced the older man.

This is one of my two favorite short stories from the time before all the nonsense we see now.
This is type of prose I haven't seen recently, its one or two sentences a paragraph yet the description is poignant, precise and delivers a sense of whats going on without be obtrusive; this kind of short
Sci fi -crime drama.
Mack Reynolds probably had a lot of fun writing the dialog on this one. A time travel tale revolving around assassination.
This one hooked me. Really wish it had been made into a full length.
I think sci-fi works best when it explores the human reaction to novel things, whereas this story seemed to look at a future humanity which was so altered in nature that it didn't ring true.
