Nicholas and Paul: Paul ...Kaor, Nicholas and Paul!<br /><br />Nicholas and Paul: Paul beat me to mentioning "The Little Monster." (Smiles) And it was "Gibraltar Falls" which seemed the most juvenile "like" of the Time Patrol stories. The POV character is a very young, still somewhat diffident recent recruit to the Patrol.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

Could you be thinking of a non-Patrol time travel story (I forget the title) where an American boy visiting relatives in Spain accidentally turns on a time machine and finds himself several hundred thousand years in the past? As I recall, he uses fire or a fire-hardened spear to drive off a lion, and that's how his remote ancestors learn to use fire.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Nicholas D.

True, the POV character was a boy, but he was not in the least childish.<br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
