This collection contains four of Poul Anderson's older Time Patrol stories. More were written later.
Time Patrol (©1955): This introduces us to Manse Everard, the hero of the stories, showing his recruitment into the Time Patrol in 1954. It makes a good introduction and quite a good story.
Brave to Be a King (©1959): Quite a good story about Cyrus the Great, founder of the first Persian Empire. It has a classic time-travel plot since reused by other writers. It's not a happy story, but I reread it nevertheless.
The Only Game In Town (©1960): Quite an interesting story though not one of my favourites; set in America in 1280 AD.
Delenda Est (©1955): My favourite of these older stories, this features a colourful alternative world created by a deliberate alteration of history.
