Second only to possessing super powers must be the thrill of time travel (without altering history!). I have become a fan of these adventures because they are undeniably an escape. Not every story here is even remotely good nor is formatting or editing uo to a generally accepted standard, however, value exists because of the low price and earnestness of the collection.Stand outs for me were Time Out for both plot and character development as well as pace and suspense. Reginald Bretnor's These Stones Will Remember is original and vivid (love the ancient Russia content). Unborn Tomorrow was both engrossing and humorous.Most intriguing was 12:01 P.M. by Richard A. Lupoff. It was claustrophobic demonstrating that time travel could be a personal hell. I found four typos on one page in this story but I let that go because it mentions New York's Burger Heaven. H. Beam Piper explores a premise that I am actually undertaking in one of my own tales. I appreciated his take on this specific time travel angle that is fascinating.
