Fox B. Holden 3 hr 40 min read

On a gray drizzling evening in 1958, tired Congressman Douglas Blair accepts a ride home, the small, ordinary beginning of an extraordinary struggle across time itself.

Fox B. Holden's 1953 story is a rousing military-SF and time-travel adventure. Vivid, driven golden-age SF. Read it for a fast-moving yarn where the Cold War spills into the fourth dimension, and a war fought up and down the centuries threatens the present, in a colorful tale of temporal conflict and high stakes.

In its time

Published in 1953, during the 1950s, post-war optimism meets cold war anxiety.
