In the title story, a man's newfound ability to walk in the past allows him to dwell among dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers...And something even more timeless. In "Construction Shack," the first manned expedition to Pluto reveals that no matter how advanced aliens may be, even they don't always get everything right.
