Time Patrol

Paul William Anderson /1926–2001/ is a famous American science fiction writer, multiple laureate of the most prestigious prizes in the field of science fiction - Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and other awards. Despite dozens of novels, one of his most interesting cycles is "Time Patrol", dedicated to the work of the temporal security service, which operates in all temporal and spatial points of the world, ensuring the protection of human history from outside interference and preventing its unauthorized changes that could lead to the erasure of the known reality and replacing it with an alternative version.

Alternative history will always serve as a fascinating field for imaginative experiments, such as what would have happened if the Roman Empire had not disappeared at one time, but continued its existence, or Europeans were late in discovering America? The course of history would then change radically, and the world as we know it now would never have existed. It is precisely such threats of interference in the course of history that the Time Patrol - a powerful organization that operates everywhere and always, at all times of all imaginable eras - opposes.

The series of stories "Time Patrol" is dedicated to temporal and historical paradoxes, as well as the extremely difficult, but also terribly exciting service of its employees, who, in addition to incredible adventures in all eras, sometimes have to face rather difficult and unusual moral and ethical dilemmas, as well as to make rather difficult and painful choices, saving our reality from collapse.
