THE CORRIDORS OF TIME
POUL ANDERSON
It was only the beginning of a strange and tortuous mission when the beautiful and cunning Storm Dalloway rescued Malcolm Lockridge from the electric chair. Death was to become a small price to pay for a cause that spanned past centuries and went beyond tomorrow. Storm was a key leader of the Wardens, who were struggling for supremacy over the Rangers, and Brann their key figure. But the Wardens and Rangers were from centuries past, and it was only by choosing the appropriate gate in an underground tunnel that Lockridge could enter into their warring worlds. Once Lockridge shut the door to the present, he became involved with nations and peoples from history books, and bloody battles fought simultaneously with spears and lethal atomic guns.
Moving effortlessly through various periods in history, this is an astounding tale of time-travel by one of the masters of science fiction.
