Roman civil war
Northern revolt against the Empire
Kwang Wu-Ti consolidates the later Han dynasty
the Satavahanas overrun India
Vologaeses the First of Persia resists rebellion and invasion
the Jewish War and the destruction of the Third Temple
fanatics want to change events in Palestine
researchers might change them accidentally
the Time Patrol guards the events
temporal physics shows that reality is unstable as far away as Germany
a pagan prophetess is changing the German religion
a female monotheism might emerge and resist Christianity
Danellian thought processes might be able to calculate the possibilities
Everard and Floris investigate
their intervention inspires the prophetess...
I have tried here to get inside the processes that Anderson imagines. The Patrol uses computers but I like the ideas that a Danellian might be able to think on this level and that there is a level of physics that shows the interconnections between events in Palestine and barbarian Germany.
By flying back to the source of the storm, the Patrol agents cause the storm but then, at least, they know what they are dealing with.
