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 four short science fiction stories about time travel. The stories are (1) The Day of the Boomer Dukes (There was a silvery aura around the kid ... the cops' guns hit him ... but he didn't notice....), (2) Project Mastodon, (3) Flight from Tomorrow (Hunted and hated in two worlds, Hradzka dreamed of a monomaniac's glory, stranded in the past with his knowledge of the future. But he didn't know the past quite well enough....), and (4) Pursuit (Disregarding other powers, when men can move instantly over any distance by simple desire, it's the beginning of a life and culture totally unrelated to anything we know. What will it be like?). This book is the fifth 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.
