Wanda Tamberly

When Guion asks Manse Everard about Wanda Tamberly in The Shield Of Time, PART ONE, that was my first indication that I had missed a Time Patrol instalment, namely The Year Of The Ransom. Thus, when The Time Patrol omnibus collection was published, I was able to read two instalments for the first time, "The Year..." and "Star of the Sea," the latter published for the first time in this collection. Finally, I read "Death and the Knight" in Tales Of The Knights Templar, edited by Katherine Kurtz, before this last Time Patrol instalment was incorporated into Time Patrol.

Wanda plays an increasing role in The Shield..., becoming a viewpoint character co-equal with Everard, and is still around as a supporting character in "Death..." Their relationship has just begun and the story is not completed.
