Lines: 25 From Mike Parsons: Along the same lines, does anybody know any good SF about CONTROLLING time (everybody elses), as opposed to time travel (controlling your local time)? I can think of two good books that discuss CONTROLLING time, although it not the major theme of either book. The first one is _A_Planet_Called_Treason_ by Orson Scott Card. If you liked his other books you should read this. The second book is _Collision_Course_ by. The basic premise of this book is that time travels in waves and that anything before a time wave has no structure because it only gains structure after a wave has passed. It turns out that there are two time waves (one of which contains the Earth of our future) on a direct collision course and when they meet they will, in effect, cancel each other out. This is a very good book. Does anyone out there happen to remember the author's name. John Allen Ohio State University (UUCP: cbosgd!osu-eddie!allen) (CSNet: allen@ohio-state)
