Description

The notion of traveling forward or backward across history—changing the events of your own life or those which came before you or those that have yet to occur—starts here with Edgar Allan Poe's "Three Sundays in a Week" and Rudyard Kipling's "Wireless," progresses through the years with past masters Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and John W. Campbell, Jr., and finishes with contemporary science fiction by such writers as Larry Niven, Harry Turtledove, Jack Finney, and Rod Serling. "An interesting collection of time travel short fiction from varied perspectives"—Library Journal

Description

An anthology of alternate-history and time-travel stories from the mid-19th century to the present. They range from Edgar Allen Poe's Three Sundays in a Week to Harry Turtledove's The Last Article, in which the Indian independence leader, Gandhi, battles not the British, but the Germans.
