<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Drifting through a party celebrating 400 years since the Spanish Armada's successful invasion of Britain, Don Miguel Navarro - Licentiate of the Society of Time - is shaken by the host's possession of a flawless mask from an ancient Aztec festival. 'Imported' from the past, the discovery signals a breach in the Society's policing of time-travel and imminent danger to reality itself. Today, a relic out of time; tomorrow, the rewriting of the course of history? In three ground-breaking novellas, John Brunner weaves an ingenious tale of diverging timelines and a battle for dominance over the fourth dimension. The Society of Time stories were abridged when first collected. Here, the trilogy is reprinted in full along with two mesmerising standalone novellas: <i>The Analysts</i> and <i>Father of Lies.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Brunner</b> (1934-1995) was a prolific author of novels and short stories, predominantly in the genre of science fiction. Known today for the Hugo Award-winning<i> Stand on Zanzibar </i>and<i> The Sheep Look Up</i>, some of Brunner's finest work remains his novellas written for science fiction magazines.
