Poul Anderson's Four Time Travel Novels

The Shield Of Time is part of the Time Patrol series.

There Will Be Time is very different in several respects and is an addition to the Maurai future history series.

The Dancer From Atlantis is historical science fiction and is one of three novels set BC, the other two being Conan The Rebel and The Golden Slave.

The Corridors Of Time covers different past and future periods and therefore might be classified alongside The Boat Of A Million Years and a collection of short stories set in various past periods.

For these reasons, I shelve these four works separately.

Kaor, Paul!

My preference is to keep all my Andersonian books in one location, aside from any I might be reading. The fact I somehow lost my first copy of THE SHIELD OF TIME strengthens that conviction. I would not care to shelve my Anderson books alongside those of other "A" authors I have, such as Aldiss and Asimov, so I could minimize chances of any getting mislaid.
