If you like page long expositions about why a particular time in history is crucial to our current time, and you like seeing Christianity getting dissed in every possible way, and you like revisionist history [nah, the Turks weren't bad, really! The vikings were just misunderstood snugg'ems who actually did respect their woman completely. Women LIKED being sex slaves in the Middle East, because, what else could they do?] Bored me to death! Recueil de nouvelles toutes plus passionnantes les unes que les autres, cette "Patrouille du temps" ravira les amateurs de paradoxes temporels, même si parfois on s'emmêle un peu les pinceaux mais l'important est que cela reste une fiction réaliste. Les patrouilleurs recrutés par les Danelliens doivent faire en sorte que la civilisation danubienne ne soit pas perturbée par des individus retournant dans le passé pour le modifier et empêcher les Danelliens de dominer. L'affaire est entendue mais la réalisation pratique donne lieu à quelques péripéties. le présent recueil regroupe les nouvelles : "La patrouille du temps", "Le grand roi", "Les chutes de Gibraltar", "Echec aux Mongols" et "L'autre univers". J'avoue que "Le grand roi" et "Echec aux Mongols" sont des nouvelles de premier ordre, fascinantes, bien écrites et de le meilleure eau science-fictionnesque. « Un bon salaire, une protection efficace, des vacances de temps à autre en des lieux fort intéressants, une tà¢che digne ». Voilà une annonce des plus alléchantes en cette année 1954 pour Manse Everard, ancien soldat au chômage. Après un rendez-vous étrange, des tests absurdes et un passage éclair dans un centre de formation situé au fin-fond des Etats-Unis, il devient « conseiller spécial de la Société d’entreprises mécaniques » et accessoirement, agent de la Patrouille temporelle, chargée de la surveillance d’éventuels paradoxes temporels à son époque. Il se retrouve ainsi à partager son temps avec Sherlock Holmes ou Crésus de Lydie, afin d’aider des voyageurs temporels égarés ou des mégalomanes rêvant de changer l’Histoire. Son quotidien : jongler avec le temps et faire fi de ses boucles et de ses paradoxes. The Time Patrol stores are staples of 60's and 70's science fiction for a good reason. They are well written, interesting tales exploring scifi concepts of space and time. Not tremendously complex or convoluted or great character studies, just good basic science fiction, though without what we have now come to expect in the way of computer networks and nanites and viruses (computer and otherwise) and the staples of current scifi. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Forget minor hazards like nuclear bombs. The discovery of time travel means that everything we know, anyone we know, might not only vanish, but never even have existed. Against that possibility stand the men and women of the Time Patrol, dedicated to preserving the history they know and protecting the future from fanatics, terrorists, and would-be dictators who would remold the shape of reality to suit their own purposes. But Manse Everard, the Patrol's finest temporal trouble-shooter, bears a heavy burden. The fabric of history is stained with human blood and suffering which he cannot, must not do anything to alleviate, lest his tampering bring disastrous alterations in future time. Everard must leave the horrors of the past in place, lest his tampering-or that of the Patrol's opponents, the Exaltationists-erase all hope of a better future, and instead bring about a future filled with greater horrors than any recorded by past history at its darkest and most foul.

Time Patrolman = 2 novellas covering Manse Everard in more detail. These 2 stories have more emotional depth the the Guardians short stories can handle and is the better book. ( )
