Battle Out of Time

Battle Out of Time by Dwight V. Swain

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel “Battle Out of Time” by master sci-fi tale-spinner, Dwight V. Swain. Dion Burke was working hard toward his Ph.D. in anthropology. For Burke—ever, always—there was only Minos and Knossos and Bronze Age Crete. Infatuated with the Minoan culture, he dreamed of the day when he could prove his theory of an ancient cataclysmic event, previously undetected by modern historians. With the help of an aging, eccentric professor, they developed a remarkable machine that worked as both a language translator, and time inverter! They could now journey back—back into the past to gather undeniable proof of what had happened centuries ago. So many questions finally answered! There was just one small problem—whatever was sent back in time, stayed there. But, back through time he journeyed, back to the ancient city of Knossos, where he found that myths and legends were real… the Labyrinth, the Minotaur…and something much more deadly…The second novel “The People That Time Forgot” is an epic of imagination and science fiction adventure by one of the greatest science fiction authors of the Twentieth Century, Edgar Rice Burroughs. In uncharted Caprona, a continent lost from the map of the Earth, where Time had stopped and all the primeval creatures of long-gone ages still prowled, Bowen Tyler was lost. To Find Tyler, Thomas Billings, equipped with all the weaponery the modern world afforded, traveled across the oceans to Caprona, where even stranger mysteries awaited him, and a barbaric civilization lay hidden, torn between the impassable jungle on one side and an unknown menace on the other. But what chance did Billings have—a modern man with modern machines in a land inhabited by the people that time forgot? Edgar Rice Burroughs’ brilliant sequel to “The Land That Time Forgot”.
