Originally published in 1962, John Brunner's Society of Time stories are set in an alternate Britain in the 1980s. It is 400 hundred years since the Spanish Armada was not defeated, and the Catholicism of the Spanish Empire rules much of the world. The Empire possesses the gift of time travel, though only a new pope is given the ultimate privilege of going back to witness the life of Jesus Christ...
These fantastic stories follow the adventures of Don Miguel Navarro, an agent of the Society of Time tasked with protecting the integrity of the timeline. They are fine examples of Brunner's hugely entertaining and thought-provoking early work.
