Authors Who Link Time Travel To Future History

Olaf Stapledon in Last And First Men
Brian Aldiss in Galaxies Like Grains Of Sand
Poul Anderson in his Maurai History
Robert Heinlein in Time Enough For Love
Isaac Asimov linking Eternals to Foundation

That is more than I had expected and there is probably more than that but I do not rate either Time Enough For Love or The End Of Eternity.

Kaor, Paul! I almost think JRR Tolkien's unfinished attempt at writing an SF story, "The Notion Club Papers," might be added to such a list. Tolkien had a 20th century character somehow linking up to his Middle Earth legendarium, set many thousands of years before. Tolkien, of course, is best known for his epic fantasy, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, but he also liked to read science fiction. Ad astra! Sean
