4.0 out of 5 stars the most thought provoking time travel book ever!, 15 April 1999
By A Customer
Unattached Agent Manse Everard has to be the most complex man,part spy for the Time Patrol, and part deep thinker. His struggles on the part of the Patrol to preserve history are an interesting moral and ethical quandry to read. Should agents of the Patrol be allowed to have personal lives ? And what quandries will face them if they do, as Everard falls in love with a field specialist named Wanda Tamberly. Or should he give up all hope of ever again trying to have at least a normal life. One would think that time travel does secretly exist some where, Mr Anderson's writing is so factual and extraordinary.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book, engrossing storyline, imaginative timetravel, 5 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This was my first Poul Anderson book to read, and I picked it up because my 3-year-old liked the mastadon on the cover. An excellent book dealing with imaginative and purposeful time travel. The storyline is so engrossing and convincingly well-written that this reader felt as if i were living the histories described. This is the job I want if I ever grow up.
