The Time Snatcher: A Heist Across the Fabric of Time

"The Time Snatcher by Randall Garrett - Tampering with events of the past could bring disastrous results in the future. It was why Brek was given a pair of six-guns to catch—The Time Snatcher. 'We're in a hell of a jam, Brek,' the Councillor said. 'If Sagginer isn't stopped, he'll change history. The situation's desperate.' Time Patrolman Brek Halliday nodded in agreement. It was a tense situation. Time travel, he knew, was possible only so long as the traveller into the past did nothing that would change history significantly; the time-stream itself would straighten out little changes in the past so that overall history would remain the same. But a big change was something else again. If you stick your finger in a river, there are a few ripples around it, but the flow of the river remains the same. If you build a dam, though.... 'When is he?' Brek asked. 'Do we know?' 'Fortunately, yes. He forced one of our operators to use one of the chronokinetic projectors, and then kidnapped her and took her with him. But he didn't know that the power drain was measurable and had been recorded on the meters. We know how much energy he used, so we know how far into the past he went. We've got him pinpointed in the area of the old United States, somewhere between 1880 and 1895.' 'Who was the girl he kidnapped?' Brek asked. The Councillor smiled apologetically. 'Dori Clayton.' The muscles of Halliday's jaw tightened. 'I see,' he said stiffly. 'When do I leave?' 'We'll prepare you immediately. It's going to be a touchy job to get both of them out of there, so watch yourself.' 'Don't worry,' Halliday said quietly. 'I'll manage it.' He walked out, eyes hot with rage, thinking of Dori in Sagginer's clutches. His hands slowly clenched and unclenched as he headed down the long hall."

Blank?

"Blank? by Randall Garrett - Amnesia? Well, maybe—but how and where had he earned that $50,000? Bethelman came to quite suddenly, and found himself standing on the corner of 44th Street and Madison Avenue. He was dizzy for a moment—not from any physical cause, but from the disorientation. The last thing he could remember, he had been sitting in a bar in Boston, talking to Dr. Elijah Kamiroff. After the interview was over, they'd had a few drinks, and then a few more. After that, things began to get hazy. Bethelman rubbed his head. It wasn't like a hangover; his head felt perfectly fine. But how in the devil had he gotten here? He looked around. No one was paying any attention to him, but no one pays any attention to anyone on the streets of New York. Still feeling queer, he headed east on 44th Street. He wanted to sit down for a bit, and the nearest place was the little bar halfway between Madison Avenue and Grand Central Station. He went in and ordered a beer. What the hell had happened? He'd had too much to drink on several occasions, but he'd never gone to sleep in one city and awakened in another. Dr. Kamiroff must have put him on the plane; the biochemist didn't drink much, and had probably been in better shape than Bethelman had been. He glanced at his watch. Two-fifteen! Wow! The city editor would be wondering where he was. He went to the phone, dropped in a dime, and dialed the city desk. When the editor's voice answered, he said: 'Hickman, this is Bethelman; I'm sorry I'm late, but—'"

With No Strings Attached: Sometimes an invention is so good, it's impossible to sell it.

"Sometimes an invention is so good that no one will believe you. There you are, with a fabulous new piece of technology that is worth millions and you are still starving to death because you are a 'crackpot'. Well, if you are smart, like the inventor in this story, you learn your lesson and start telling people your invention is just something they know and use every day, just a bit better. Sure it's a lie but people have to believe before they will part with the big bucks. If it works, it ain't stupid. And this inventor is definitely not stupid. Randall Garrett gives us a wonderfully wry story about human nature in his unique and very entertaining way. Listen and enjoy."
