"Dead Ringer" by Lester Del Rey is a science fiction story that follows Dane Phillips, a journalist who stumbles upon a disturbing secret about aliens living among humans. Themes of identity, what it means to be human, and psychological health fill the story as Phillips, haunted by past trauma and a mysterious resurrection, suspects that aliens are secretly replacing people, including a supposedly dead war buddy. He tries to expose the truth, only to be labeled insane and trapped in a mental hospital where he fights against mind control where he must come to terms with his own horrifying transformation. This story paints a stark picture of the razor's edge that separates what's real and what's madness when faced with the unbelievable.
