Corridors Of Time

About this book

Malcolm Lockridge is a young anthropologist sitting in a city jail, charged with second-degree murder after a street fight that was never his choice. His lawyer urges him to plead guilty, his money is running out, and the press has already made up its mind about him. Then a visitor arrives who does not belong in a prison visiting room: Storm Darroway, tall, striking, impossibly composed and strangely hard to place. She has a fortune, a proposition, and a purpose she is in no hurry to explain. What she offers him is freedom, but nothing about her offer is simple, and the price may be far greater than any prison sentence. Poul Anderson, one of the grand masters of science fiction, sets a hard-edged contemporary courtroom drama against a sweeping tale of time, war and destiny. Expect a tough, quick-thinking hero, a mysterious woman with her own agenda, and a story that reaches from the modern world into the deep past and distant future. At around 68,000 words, this classic adventure is a gripping read for fans of time-travel fiction, old-school sci-fi and intelligent pulp storytelling.
