The Flight of the Horse

'We don't know where on Earth you'll wind up,' Ra Chen had told him.And the Director of the Institute for Temporal Research didn't know precisely when, either. ALl he knew was that Haville Svetz would be travelling back in time almost 2,000 years.But when he returns, Hanville Svetz won't be alone. If his mission is successful he will be accompanied by a creature long extinct - a spectacular birthday present for the Secreatary-General. His only hope is a picture from a children's book. A picture of a horse.And so begins the first incredible adventure in time of Hanville Svetz.Contents1 • The Flight of the Horse • [Svetz] • (1969) • shortstory by Larry Niven19 • Leviathan! • [Svetz] • (1970) • shortstory by Larry Niven33 • Bird in the Hand • [Svetz] • (1970) • novelette by Larry Niven59 • There's a Wolf in My Time Machine • [Svetz] • (1971) • shortstory by Larry Niven81 • Death in a Cage • [Svetz] • (1973) • shortstory by Larry Niven99 • Flash Crowd • [Teleportation] • (1973) • novella by Larry Niven165 • What Good Is a Glass Dagger? • [Magic Goes Away] • (1972) • novelette by Larry Niven211 • Afterword (The Flight of the Horse) • (1973) • essay by Larry Niven
