A modern man is swept back in time to sail with Christopher Columbus, finding the great voyage of discovery rather different from the history books.

Stephen Marlowe's 1957 story is a lively time-travel adventure aboard the expedition that discovered the New World. Fun, vivid, wry golden-age SF. Read it for a rousing tale of a time-traveler thrown into one of history's most famous voyages, with all its hardship and wonder.

In its time
