Publisher's Synopsis
Time-travel continues to exercise its mesmeric fascination upon writers, readers and editors of science fiction alike. This is probably because almost all of us, at one time or another, have longed greatly to visit either the future or the past. Perhaps, in view of the dangerous paradoxes such travel must involve, it is a good thing that such horological journeys have to date been confined to the printed page. This book consists of a collection of seven short science fiction stories about time travel. The stories are (1) The Amazing Mrs. Mimms (Tea had a wonderful effect on her. Sipping it slowly, she felt the strength returning to her tired system), (2) The Ultroom Error (Smith admitted he had made an error involving a few murders?and a few thousand years. He was entitled to a sense of humor, though, even in the Ultroom!), (3) A World Apart (Most men of middle age would welcome a chance to live their lives a second time. But Coulter did not), (4) The Skull (Conger agreed to kill a stranger he had never seen. But he would make no mistakes because he had the stranger's skull under his arm), (5) The Man from Time (Deep in the Future he found the answer to Man's age-old problem), (6) Benefactor (He clutched at the lever with more force than he'd intended. It was set for further in the future....), and (7) The Man who Saw the Future. This book is the third one in a series of seven books on this topic. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of these timeless stories.
