For 35 years Hugo and Nebula award winner Anderson ( The Boat of a Million Years ) has written stories about the Time Patrol, whose members are charged with keeping history on track, unaltered, accidentally or deliberately, by time travelers. With this first novel set in that universe, Anderson vividly demonstrates his mastery of ancient cultures and history. After several grueling cases, agent Manse Everard is taking leave of the Pleistocene Age when it is discovered that history beyond the mid-12th century has changed drastically. Manse moves uptime to the new 1980s, an era in which the Renaissance has never happened, in which the Church, via the Inquisition, has stifled most dissent and scientific development, and the New World has barely been colonized. Everard and his new love and protegee, Wanda Tamberly, determine that the key to the change lies in the premature death in battle of Roger II, count of Sicily, grandfather of Frederick II, who has thus never been born. Although the Time Patrol saves the count, they are not able to redirect history to its conventional course. Ensuring the birth of another key figure, Pope Gregory IX, becomes critical. Anderson has produced a lively, thought-provoking tale.



The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.

Вражаючий роман про мандрівників у часі!

"Щит часу" - це захоплююча подорож у світ, де історія може бути змінена, а долі великих особистостей можуть кардинально змінитися. Андерсон майстерно поєднує наукову фантастику з історичними елементами, створюючи унікальну атмосферу, в якій читач може відчути себе частиною великої гри з часом. Персонажі, зокрема Менс Еверард та Ванда Темберлі, глибоко прописані, і їхні стосунки додають емоційної глибини до сюжету. Особливо вразила детальна реконструкція історичних епох та культур, що робить роман не лише розважальним, а й пізнавальним. Хоча переклад тексту іноді має недоліки, загалом він не заважає насолоджуватися цим літературним шедевром. Рекомендую всім, хто любить наукову фантастику, історію та захоплюючі сюжети!
