Masters of Time
Van Vogt, A E
Original title, in magazine serial, was "Recruiting Station." Also published by Ace Books as "Earth's Last Fortress."
~ ~~ ~
A
recruiting station; a storefront in the heart of a big-city downtown.
Young men can volunteer to join the armies of a beleaguered new
democracy overseas.
~ ~~ ~
But the recruitment is a scam. Each
volunteer goes, not to the Calonian army, but through a pulsing machine
which moves them hundreds of centuries up the time line, to become
cannon fodder in a war which is shaking the universe.
~ ~~ ~
Two
present-day humans are taking on this mammoth military machine. Their
chances are miniscule. Their only hope is to save a few lives before
giving up their own. But playing tricks with Time can lead to unexpected
results.
