 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.
