Novels of circular causality
The Dancer From Atlantis
The Corridors Of Time
There Will Be Time
Short stories and series
Past Times
Time Patrol
The Shield Of Time
I suggest that Past Times could be revised slightly and should certainly include "The Man Who Came Early." These half dozen or so stories are independent of each other and of the Time Patrol series which comprises the remaining two volumes. Nevertheless, Past Times makes a good conceptual introduction to Time Patrol, whereas the circular causality novels are a different category. The circular paradox is an ornamental garden obliging each completed work to stand alone unable to generate any sequels or series whereas "The Man Who Came Early" and "The Nest" present the kinds of situations and problems that are addressed in more detail by the Time Patrol.
