"I braced myself, prepared to ride into battle bearing aloft the standards in which I believed so passionately, prepared to die if necessary for the cause I thought so worthwhile.
"But I did not die. Nor did I ride into battle on a milk-white charger like some mythical crusader lost in the corridors of time."
-Susan Howatch, Penmarric (London, 2014), III, CHAPTER SEVEN, p. 352.
See also A Corridor Of Time.
Again Howatch, no doubt unknowingly, echoes Poul Anderson. Time might be compared to a corridor but why should it be thought to have "corridors" in the plural?

Kaor, Paul!
It does make me wonder if Howatch had read Anderson's THE CORRIDORS OF TIME! I think it's reasonable to think some mainstream writers do read science fiction.
Ad astra! Sean
