Author Description

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 five short science fiction stories about time travel. The stories are (1) The Thief of Time (The teller turned to the stacked pile of bills. They were gone! And no one had been near!), (2) Time Fuze (The ultradrive had just one slight drawback: it set up a shock wave that made suns explode. Which made the problem of getting back home a delicate one indeed....), (3) The Man from 2071 (Out of the flow of time there appears to Commander John Hanson a man of mystery from the forgotten past.) (4) The Meteor Girl (Through the complicated space-time of the fourth dimension goes Charlie King in an attempt to rescue the Meteor Girl), and (5) The End of Time (By millions of millions the creatures of earth slow and drop when their time-sense is mysteriously paralyzed.) This book is the sixth 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.
