How easy to get lost in the stream of time...Or is it?,
By
This review is from: TIME STREAM (The Garland Library of Science Fiction) (Hardcover)
Here's a fascinating tale by John Taine, who is actually mathematician Eric Temple Bell. As I read this, back in the Sixties, the book contained two other stories: The Purple Sapphire, and The White Lilly. All these stories are somewhat dated, but quite original pieces, that stand by themselves. The Time Stream follows several travelers, who make use of some rather interesting properties of time - apparently it behaves like water flowing, and thus has eddy currents that can be used to move both forward and back if you know how. The Purple Sapphire is an adventure tale set in the wilderness of Tibet, and assumes there are places on this earth that are remote and mysterious. It's a good yarn, and well spun, if you can set yourself back to those times. The White Lilly is a fairly dated "jekyll-hyde" piece about the good and not-so-good aspects of experimentation with radiation, (something that has been done to death).Still if you can find them, you'll find them well-written and fun. Well worth trying to find.
