Synopsis

The Great Time Travel Collection brings together sixteen unforgettable science fiction adventures from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s that explore one of humanity’s greatest fascinations—and greatest dangers. What happens when the barriers between yesterday, today, and tomorrow disappear?Inside these pages, time is never simply a road to the past or a shortcut to the future. It’s a force that twists lives, reshapes history, and turns even the smallest decision into a world-changing event. Brilliant inventors, accidental travelers, determined explorers, and ordinary men and women all discover that every journey through time carries consequences no one can predict.These classic tales deliver everything that made the Golden Age of Science Fiction legendary: ingenious paradoxes, alternate timelines, impossible choices, startling revelations, and endings that will stay with you long after the final page. Whether history is rewritten, the future arrives too soon, or the past refuses to remain buried, each story offers a fresh and imaginative look at the endless possibilities hidden within time itself.Featuring multiple masterpieces by Philip K. Dick, along with unforgettable stories by Frederik Pohl, Fritz Leiber, Damon Knight, Fredric Brown, August Derleth, Winston Marks, Joseph Slotkin, John Bernard Daley, Charles L. Fontenay, and others, this anthology showcases some of the most inventive time travel fiction ever written.Included are sixteen remarkable classics: Stop, You’re Killing Me!, Forsyte’s Retreat, Prominent Author, The Skull, Prison of a Billion Years, Meddler, Let the Ants Try, The Beachcomber, Nice Girl with 5 Husbands, A Traveler in Time, Hall of Mirrors, Exhibit Piece, The Queen of Space, The Man Who Liked Lions, Z, and The Turning Wheel.Open the door to the past, the future, and every impossible moment in between—but remember, once time changes, nothing is ever quite the same again.

DICK (1928–1982) published 36 science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power.
