Wow thanks everybody ! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif Doh, I should have thought of asking this waaay sooner ... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I think, book-eater as I am, I will try all your suggestions for the long Winter evenings to come. Even, Desuma_Malevois, when you suggest I try a Moorcock http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif (I really HATED the desperate-guy-alone-in-the-world stuff).

Big hugs to you all, and merci beaucoup ! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

The world is my oyster !

I only know of one or maybe two (memory???) time travel books by him, But I must recomend "Enders game" and it's parallels "Enders Shadow" and "Shadow of the Hegomy" as well as the 3 books in a series after Enders Game, begining with "Speaker for the Dead" None of these have anything to do with time travel, but are Sci-Fi and contemperary literature at it's best. I've only read a few of out of his catalog I could not get into, like the "Alvin Maker" series. I will try to read those again someday.

Ah! Life is a Paradox. Of course you could further narrow the criteria to Time Fighting - one of the coolest books I've read was by Zelazny and it had to do with the Egyptian gods & temperal fuge one-on-one combat (VERY cool).

Yes, Harry Harrison's books (some of the Stainless Steel Rat books) are very paradoxical in nature because of time travel.

(I can't believe I didn't see anyone mention H.G.Wells.)

Hmmm, maybe that book was by Silverberg (to bad most of my books are in storage and not on shelves next to my computer).

Also, Michael Crichton's Timeline was excellent! From a scientific PoV. Quantum time travel to the Medieval times!!! GREAT book! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

The Zelazny book involving Egyptian Gods is "Creatures of Light and Darkness". It's been so long since I've read it that I don't recall if there was temporal fugue combat or not. One very good book that he had written on time travel is "Roadmarks".

No-one mentioning H G Wells - probably because his books are very dated. The style of language and writing does not appeal to most young people - and frankly, although I enjoyed them very much as a child and young teenager, I have no desire to re-read them now.
They are on a par with Dickens - great stories, but so bedded down in descriptive prose and old-fashioned language that they are unlikely to attract new readers.

Dubbed Queen of the Illuminati by Diogenes.

OK I have found one more:
James P. Hogan - The Proteus Operation, It is more about paralell words but it involves also time travels.
Coming back to paralell worlds there is short story written by australian http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif author: Stephen Dedman - From Whom All Blessings Flow - it is really very good!

Now, excuse me Fljotsdale but you obviously didn't read my previous answer above in which I reccomended H.G.Wells to people who like that sort of thing (paragraph four). To finish that answer off, The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin was written by someone called Ouspensky and Who Goes Here was written by Bob Shaw (but might only exist in radio play format). I'd also recommend Tiger, Tiger by Ivan Bester. It's very good, read it now.
