The Chameleon Man

A voice says hello; the office is empty. Then a straw-haired young man appears—only to fade back into the desk, the water cooler, the wall. His name is Horatio Heely, and being overlooked is no trick he can turn off.

In wartime America, with the Army taking nearly every available man, a theatrical booking agent finds himself mistaken for the columnist known as the Soldier’s Friend. Horatio, rejected by his draft board, wants a place in uniform—but his strange ability to blend into the background makes even being seen a struggle. The agent spots a possible use for Horatio’s gift in show business, though a life as an attraction may not be the life Horatio wants. Can a man almost no one notices find a way to serve—and to make himself matter?
