1970-1973

There Will Be Time, XIV-XVI.

Havig and Leonce visit Robert Anderson:

on April 12, 1970;

in March, 1971;

on October 31, 1971.

There Will Be Time was published in 1973. Its Foreword informs us that Robert Anderson died:

"Late last year..." (p. 7)

 

But, in October, 1971, Leonce tells Robert Anderson:

 

"'...you're good for a fair while yet!'" (XVI, p. 173)

 

Does one year count as a fair while or is the fictional publication date of There Will Be Time later than the real date?

 

In 1970, Robert Anderson advises the Havigs to build an anti-Eyrie time travel group. In March, 1971, they tell him about their group. In October, they tell him that they have defeated the Eyrie, that Phase Two, which they call Polaris House, is theirs and that they will leave Earth. That ends his association with them.
