I have my own copy of this, and I will not lend it to anyone. About once a year I re-read it. It's about a fellow who runs from the future, only to be chased thru time. The story plays on a number of paradoxes, which I can't give away. If you can get a copy, it's worth the effort.

Interesting: I saw this paperback here, and deciding to write a review I read the ones that existed. My thoughts ran the same trail as the others:

I've owned this paperback since the 80s. I will not ever get rid of it.

About Once a year I re-read it. It's a simple read, but very good with playing on the whole Time Travel theme and, as mentioned earlier, some of the paradoxes (like the incident in the field).

Like the others, I'd love to give examples, but don't want to ruin the story for others.

If you love a good Time Travel story that does not involve itself with a lot of deep character study, then this book is a must read.

This is a really good read, definitely one that I continue to re-read. It deals with the classic problems of time travel, and then adds a few in. It is definitely worth your time, particularly if you are interested in time travel. I recommend it!

I got a copy of the book because I liked Meredith's Narrow Passage trilogy and some of his other books, but in this one the hero is so agressively stupid, and keeps making such bizzare choices that I could not even finish the book. If you were marooned in an ice age and religious whackos with rifles are coming to kill you, would you try to talk them in to being sweet and reasonable, or would you fight? In this case it was the former and the hero takes a death wound as a result. Presumably he bumbles into a miracle cure in the next chapter, but I could not stand to read any farther.
