Routine Exercise

- New Worlds Science Fiction #103, February 1961
“It was like a distant depth charge, yet—” it sent Captain Harvey’s nuclear sub to a different time where “—the enemy, whoever they were, technically outclassed his own culture by about fifteen hundred years, if not more.” Or maybe it was something else out there in that fetid heat. —Michael Main
The past—could there be such a thing as a time-shift? The whole idea was a paradox, wasn’t it? Like that yarn about the chap who went back in time and murdered his own grandfather.

Tune Out of Time
- by Philip E. High
- in Step to the Stars, edited by Philip E. High (Cosmos Books, 2004)
Philip E. High was a prolific author, although not well known in the states. This story, first published when he was 89, tells the tale of the miraculous Mottram’s organ, which unexpectedly sends Alan Stapleton to the past (or is it the future?) on an obscure fragment of matter called Earth—and he may find himself in several other locations before he finds his way home.
