Book description
Time travel spelled problems for the couriers of the Time Service.
Shuttling backwards and forwards over the centuries they had to be wary
of creating paradoxes - like meeting themselves watching the sack of
Rome, or sleeping with their own ancestors. Of course, it also gave them
the chance to amass wealth by the discreet use of their prior knowledge.
The penalties were fierce and the Time Police implacable in their
pursuit of lawbreakers. But it was still worth taking the risk. Jud
Elliot took it when he met the marvellous transemporal paradox called
the Pulcheria. He couldn't resist her charms - the effects spanned
generations, and set the Time Police on his trail! Robert Silverberg
