"The barbarian gladiator steps toward your prone body, muscles tensed in anticipation of the coming deathstroke. He thrusts at your throat as you roll left, his blade slashing at you. In the arena seats above, a bored aristocrat fingers a Time Corps communicator -- your communicator, a technology not-of-this-time, which he must not keep. This mission felt wrong from the start; you should have known it was a trap. The Demorean attack on the Egyptian village was too obvious. The ambush on Cleopatra's procession was too faint-hearted. And now, when you've finally discovered the Demorean secret, this gladiatorial "game" is too convenient. The gladiator lunges and the crowd roars for blood.

"'According to the Sentinel, renegades have penetrated Cuba sometime in 1519. As near as we can guess, the band of time-hoppers joined the Spanish conquistador, Hernan Cortes, who is on his way to conquer Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire. You probably know the place better by its later name, Mexico City. Now these renegades are probably after the legendary treasure of Moctezuma, the Aztec king. Of course, we can't be absolutely sure there's no other plan afoot.' So goes another mission briefing by John Watkins, Commander of the Earth Specialty Division.

The naked, steel-girder skeletons of majestic skyscrapers rise out of the rubbish, their twisted, scorched fingers towering over this ash-covered graveyard like so many weather-beaten crosses. It's been over three decades since the Nuclear War ushered in the Second Dark Age. For thirty years, the survivors have struggled to restore some measure of law and order to North America.

"There's more to being a Time Corps agent than you think. Rookies have it easy; popping back into history and shooting a few Demoreans. But in this survival course, you learn what time travel is all about: beating a Significance Wave into the future before it prevents your own birth; forgetting what you're doing after you destroy the clue you find two days from now; dealing with five copies of yourself, all loop-trapped together and arguing about what to do next. TimeTricks introduces time-hopping through and between infinite worlds at will, along with new information, skills, Paranormal Talents, and equipment to deal with the paradoxes of time travel." 1985 ...

"IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED — the phenomenon most dreaded and feared by all Time Corps agents and sane beings everywhere! A Time Storm ravages the Continuum, mixing a temporal stew of Chicago gangsters, Union soldiers, cartoon maniacs, great Caesars, talking dinosaurs, displaced wizards, and horrors too startling to print! When these amazing forces collide — when creatures worlds apart crash through the wall of time together — only the hardiest agents survive. Timestorm is a campaign of six incredible adventures, based on the advanced rules in the Timetricks game supplement. These adventures are so tumultuous, so wild, and so deadly that we recommend you don't use regular Time Corps agents. Instead, Timestorm features eight ready-to-play heroes from the Corps' infamous Last Resort Division: Hercules, Sergeant Striker, Cleopatra, Agatha Marple, Merlin, Robin Hood, Amelia Earhart, and Boudicca, a Celtic warrior queen. (Of course, if you think your own characters are up to the challenge, we dare you to try! The best can survive.)" 1986 ... Mark Acres ... 96 pages ... PACE 3013 ...

"Alarms flash and klaxons sound as every available Time Corps agent rushes to the field. Somehow a full-scale nuclear war has broken out in 1970 and the disruptive Time Wave spawned by that fiery destruction will wipe out the Time Corps in a matter of days unless the cause behind the change in History is found and fixed. Even new recruits like yourself are being rushed through training and being sent to a Time almost 20 years after the bombs stopped falling to find out what happened from the survivors. So you go back, masking your uncertainty as to what to do, to try to find the key. But a lot has changed. . . from geography, politics, and economics to music, shopping, and computers. What is cause and what is effect. Miss Him, Miss Him, Miss Him is a training module which lets you teach TimeMaster to new players while they play the adventure." 1986 ... 40 pages ... Pace 3015 ...

"You sleep in the middle of the day. The twin towers of the World Trade Center in 20th Century Manhattan, once the world's tallest buildings, top out at 35 stories each. No one has ever heard of the Mason-Dixon line. Cigarettes seem never to have existed. So much is different in so many subtle ways that you feel your Paranormal Memory will be overwhelmed completely, yet you know that somehow, somewhere, it was all caused by a solitary change in the fabric of Time. Can you find thecommon element that determines whether billions of lives will be plunged into darkness and death?" ?? ... 40 pages ... Pace 3016 ... ISBN ?? Harold Lamb's Fictionalized Biographies Omar Khayyam
"OMAR THE OMNISCIENT He was called the greatest thinker of his time. Astrologer, philosopher, mathematician, poet, he moved heaven and earth in his relentless search for truth. Warrior... He fought at his Sultan's side. His flashing scimitar guarded the imperial life. His clever strategy led the Moslem hordes to Conquest. Adventurer... He traveled the caravan routes of half the world. Alone he ventured into the forbidden kingdom of the Assassins and learned the delights of their Paradise. Lover... He possessed many women — Zoe, the Christian, he tore from the brutal Turks... Yasmi, his child bride, stolen from an Amir's harem... and Ayesha, the Arab slave girl trained in all the arts of love, who served him with wisdom as ancient as the ages." 1978 ... Harold Lamb ... 372 pages ... Pinnacle Books ... ISBN 0523402732  Alexander of Macedon
"THE STRENGTH OF HERACLES... THE BRAVERY OF ACHILLES... THE WISDOM OF ARISTOTLE... This was the legacy of the young man born of a barbarian and a witch to fulfill the strange omens of splendor and greatness. In a breathless tale of the extraordinary Alexander the Great, a master storyteller recreates the high drama which was this infamous demi-god's life. Here is the handsome young prince who chose books over the beautiful young women and men sent to tempt him; the youthful conqueror who ordered bloody massacres but grew sick with self-loathing afterward; the brilliant general who battled his way into the unknown to learn the mysteries of life; the ascetic who brought his people richness and luxury beyond their wildest dreams; the despot who, in a dozen years, altered the entire thrust of history; the heir to a kingdom no mortal had ever before dared to claim." 1976 ... Harold Lamb ... 403 pages ... Pinnacle Books ... ISBN 0523008775  Suleiman the Magnificent
"RULER OF THE WORLD; SLAVE OF A WOMAN… His name was Suleiman; enemies as well as friends called him The Magnificent. Unlike others of his people, his eyes were gray. Perhaps that made him different from the start. Suleiman was twenty-five when he was recalled to Constantinople at the death of his father, the Sultan. Accepting his responsibility with some misgivings, he ruled Turkey with a firm but fair hand. But to sixteenth century Europe, he was a pitiless and unrelenting conqueror, as bloodthirsty and ruthless as the age that bred him. At the peak of his manhood, Suleiman's cup was full. He rode unchallenged over half the world, and in his house hold waited gentle Gulbehar, his First Kadir, the favorite of his harem. Suleiman paid little attention to the others in the harem — until he heard the strange, spirited singing of Khurrem, the newly-bought, Russian slave girl. Stubborn, brazen, impudent, the slight, fair-haired slave who never wept when she was beaten would have told anyone who asked that she would one day be First Kadir; that, further, she would yet be the legal wife to the Sultan. And so Suleiman, scourge of the world, listened to the singing of a slave, hated her even while he loved her, and was powerless to stay the sweep of her influence. Suleiman The Magnificent, the ruthless, the barbarous, had met his match..." 1978 ... Harold Lamb ... 368 pages ... Pinnacle Books ... ISBN 0523402279  Theodora and the Emperor
"THE PEASANT KING Peter Sabbatius, the scholarly son of a Macedonian peasant who became Justinian the Great, emperor of Byzantium. Shy, lonely, he dreamed of uniting the whole world under one church over which he alone would rule. THE HARLOT EMPRESS Theodora, the haunting beauty whose name stands in history beside Helen of Troy and Cleopatra. The footloose daughter of a circus performer, her fierce ambition drove her from man to man until she met, and married, Justinian. TOGETHER They forged the mighty empire of Byzantium from the ruins of barbarian-ravaged Rome. Side by side, the shepherd boy and the circus girl transformed a dying world into a dazzling universe of Byzantine splendor." 1977 ... Harold Lamb ... 377 pages ... Pinnacle Books ... ISBN 0523402007  Hannibal
"SOLDIER OF CARTHAGE Eventually the Romans destroyed the fabled city of Carthage. What could never be erased, however, was the brilliant legacy of the man who has been called the world's finest soldier. Magnificent is the word for everything Hannibal did — he moved huge armies against impossible odds, he won great battles, and he survived tremendous defeats. He was famed for his military genius, but his incredible overland campaign against Rome with foot soldiers, cavalry, baggage train, and elephants astonished the ancient world and has amazed historians ever since. Later he proved, by masterful reorganization of the defeated Carthaginian government, that he was an astute statesman as well as a warrior." 1976 ... Harold Lamb ... 294 pages ... Pinnacle Books ... ISBN 0523009011  Cyrus the Great
"THE PEOPLES KING King of Persia, Cyrus the Great lived in the sixth century before Christ. He emerged from obscurity and left behind him the first ordered world state. He was the first ruler ever to respond to his subjects. All this without any prior principles of government to model his empire on. A realist, in a world of superstition and myth, he conquered the "kingdoms of the earth": Medes, Lydia, and Babylonia. He threatened Egypt and then turned his attention further into "the eastern limbo of the world" This reveals the ancient world of pre-history and portrays the man who shaped its borders." 1976 ...
