A queer feeling stole over him, a queer feeling of well-being. New strength was flowing into him, the old thrill of battle was pounding through his blood once more.
Not only were queer things happening to his body, but also to his brain. The world about him looked queer, held a sort of an intangible mystery he could not understand.
Hellhounds of the Cosmos, Clifford D. Simak , 1932

Reposting this years-old post about the Clifford Simak novel because I recently discovered it features, of all people, Harriet Quimby as a supporting character. As in the same Harriet Quimby who because a pioneering pilot (first woman in North America to be awarded a pilot's licence), was the first to fly solo across the English channel in 1912, and was also an acclaimed investigative journalist - basically she was Lois Lane a quarter century before Superman was invented. In this novel she is reimagined as a journalist who happens to also be a telepath and her path intersects that of the hero of the book.
Harriet isn't a lead character in the same way Amelia Earhart is featured in the Max Allan Collins novel Flying Blind, but considering how few books there are about her, it stuck out that Simak would think of including her in his 1961 SF novel. He must have been a fan too.
Time is the Simplest Thing by Clifford Simak
A telepath acquires a powerful alien consciousness—and must run to escape corporate assassins and angry mobs—in this novel by the author of Way Station. Space travel has been abandoned in the twenty-second century. It is deemed too dangerous, expensive, and inconvenient—and now the all-powerful Fishhook company holds the monopoly on interstellar exploration for commercial gain. Their secret is the use of “parries,” human beings with the remarkable telepathic ability to expand their minds throughout the universe. On what should have been a routine assignment, however, loyal Fishhook employee Shepherd Blaine is inadvertently implanted with a copy of an alien consciousness, becoming something more than human. Now he’s a company pariah, forced to flee the safe confines of the Fishhook complex. But the world he escapes into is not a safe sanctuary; Its people have been taught to hate and fear his parapsychological gift—and there is nowhere on Earth, or elsewhere, for Shepherd Blaine to hide. A Hugo Award nominee, Time Is the Simplest Thing showcases the enormous talents of one of the true greats of twentieth-century science fiction. This richly imagined tale of prejudice, corporate greed, oppression, and, ultimately, transcendence stands tall among Simak’s most enduring works.
