Sir Isaac Newton found the concept nonsensical. Albert Einstein hypothesized that travel at tremendous speeds would make it possible. In 1995 Stephen Hawking completely reversed his long-held skeptic's view.

But the feasibility of such a journey has never proven to be an impediment to science fiction and fantasy writers. They were weaving adventures through time and space even before H. G. Wells published The Time Machine in 1895.


Time Travelers gathers twenty-four tales by the most recognizable names in the genre. Included is the first time-travel story ever written -- penned by American journalist Edward Page Mitchell fourteen years prior to Wells's landmark novel. Here, too, is a selection by master of future history Robert A. Heinlein, whose "All You Zombies --" involves a character traveling back and forth through time on a bizarre genetic mission.



Also included amongst those roaming in the fourth dimension are such legendary sci-fi writers as Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Philip K. Dick, along with such contemporary voices as William Gibson and Martin Amis. Of course, there is a selection by H. G. Wells -- a piece originally written as part of The Time Machine but curiously excised when the book was published.

Trek into the past, back to the present, or ahead to the future on an unforgettable journey with Time Travelers. You haven't a moment to waste.
