"To Everard the scene was eerily half-familiar. He had witnessed its like in a score of different lands, in as many different centuries."
-Poul Anderson, The Shield of Time (New York, 1991), PART TWO, 209 B. C., p. 24.
"He knew this town, on a hundred different worlds."
-"The Pirate," p. 139.
A powerful echo between Anderson's Time Patrol series and his Psychotechnic History. Everard is in Bactra in 209 BC and Trevelyan is in Port Nevada in 3115 AD of a different timeline. They could not be further apart and yet they are very close.
Kaor, Paul!
