Companionship And Caution

"Flight to Forever."

Does a time traveller require a companion? According to some narratives, yes. 

Martian Saunders loses Sam Hull in 2500 and is joined by Belgotai of Syrtis in 3000. They proceed cautiously:

3100, radioactivity;
3200, desolation;
3500, forest;
4100, buildings and people -

- and a longer stop for the time travellers, to be returned to tomorrow by us. Look how far Saunders has come from 1973 and this is only the beginning.

    I can tell you are fascinated by time traveling stories. I agree Anderson handled that better than most SF writers.

  2. Kaor, Mr. Stirling!

    And just a bit crudely written compared to Anderson's later stories.
