|
| rdfs:comment | - Notorious but better-than-it-sounds science fiction novel by the equally notorious Jack L. Chalker. It posits a world in which Time Travel to or from the past is possible by "leaping" into the body of a person of that time. There is a catch: spend too much time in the past, and you'll 'trip' and be stuck as that person permanently, even if you return to the present. When the hero's first leap into the past uncovers a full-fledged war for control of the future, things go from bad to worse very, very quickly. Predates Quantum Leap by more than a decade.
