Yes, I now have a vague recollection ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Yes, I now have a vague recollection of Havig or one of his friends inventing a kind of time traveling clock telling them how "far" they had gone in time. It's been a long time since I last reread THERE WILL BE TIME.<br /><br />I'm surprised H.G. Wells never thought of the problems his Time Traveler might have BREATHING while using the time machine.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

HOW does Havig and other "genetic" time travelers know when and where they want to go? Do they have to stop from time to time to find out "when" they are? And then move either forwards or backwards? <br /><br />As for Havig and other time travelers in THERE WILL BE TIME needing to stop occasionally to breathe, that seems needless. Is any mention made of Havig or enemies of the Eyre making use of air tanks? That would lessen the need for stopping to catch one's breath.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
