Description

Don Miguel Navarro lives in Britain - a Britain which failed to repel the Spanish Armada invasion. He is part of the Society of Time, an organisation which polices the improper use of time travel, and which is galvanised into action when an ancient relic from a parallel time's South America is spotted on the black market. In three fascinating and ground-breaking novellas, John Brunner weaves an ingenious tale of a divergent and compelling timeline, and poses complex questions of how we perceive the fourth dimension and its relation to our own identity. When collected previously the three original Society of Time stories were abridged. Here, 'The Spoils of Yesterday', 'The Word Not Written' and 'The Fullness of Time' are reprinted in full, along with the two mesmerising Brunner novellas 'The Analysts' and 'Father of Lies'.

Author Biography

John Brunner (1934-1995) was a prolific author of novels and short stories, predominantly in the genre of science fiction. Known today for his novels, which include the Hugo Award-winning Stand on Zanzibar and The Sheep Look Up, some of Brunner's finest work appeared in novella form in science fiction magazines, and has, until now, been out of print.
