4.0 out of 5 stars a good collection, May 16, 2001

Plot synopses:

YEAR OF THE QUIET SUN: U.S. government casts a time machine increasingly further into the future to gather political and demographic data, in an attempt to avert a looming civil conflict.

THE WINDS OF TIME: A spacefaring race crashes a ship on earth in prehistoric times and travel to the future by hibernation, waiting for a civilization to arise with sufficient technoogy to repair their spacecraft.

THERE WILL BE TIME: Random humans are born with the ability to move themselves forward and backward through time purely by mental will. They ally and utterly change the world.

All of these are excellent stories, with THERE WILL BE TIME standing out as the best of the three. Anderson beats the stuffing out of the time travel theme, as Alfred Bester did for telepaths in THE DEMOLISHED MAN. Not only do the characters jump between historical periods, they also find interesting uses for jumps of a few minutes forward or backward. Babies time travel with surprising results. THERE WILL BE TIME is very well thought out and worth the price of the book alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Winds of Time" is worth the price of admission., February 18, 2007

Just shows that different people like different stories. "The Year of the Quiet Sun" really didn't grab me personally. "There Will Be Time" was a decent story... but by far my favorite from this book was "The Winds of Time," which I thought was an excellent tale, and for which I give the book 5 stars. Based on my review and that of others, if you like this genre, you're almost certainly going to find at least one of these three that you really like.

this is one I read more that once. Startling now, how well Oliver portrays both the emptiness and boredom of 1950's middle class life and how well he gets us to fell the sense of loss among human like aliens whose spaceship crashes on Earth..all in the course of a really good story. Don't miss it!
