Some works cover both past and future periods:
The Corridors Of Time
There Will Be Time
the Time Patrol series
The Boat Of A Million Years
- three about time travel and one about immortality.
Boat, published only as a single long novel, could have been serialized first. Each chapter is set in a different century. It could then have been published in three volumes: past, present and future. By "present," I mean the twentieth century.
Past: from 310 BC to 1872
Present: 1931, 1938, 1942, 1975
Future: undated but remote
London has been preserved in Fleet and Oxford in Boat. That was the link.

Kaor, Paul!
THE BOAT OF A MILLION YEARS was "serialized" in a tiny way when I first read what became Chapter III, "The Comrade" in the June 1988 issue of ANALOG. It was only in December of 1989 that I got my copy of BOAT.
Ad astra! Sean
