A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
I’m a sucker for time travel stories—I admit it! One of the first adult science fiction books I bought in a bookstore as a kid was Keith Laumer’s Dinosaur Beach, which thoroughly hooked me. From there I went on to L. Sprague de Camp’s “A Gun for Dinosaur,” Ray Bradbury’s “A Sound of Thunder,” and so many others…more than I can count!
Now here is a selection of 18 more—many of them rare tales from the pulps that I know you haven’t read before. Even if you’re jaded with time-travel (Dinosaurs vs. Cowboys? Again?) you’ll find something new in these pages.
Enjoy!

ABOUT THE SERIES
Over the last few years, our MEGAPACK™ ebook series has grown to be our most popular endeavor. (Maybe it helps that we sometimes offer them as premiums to our mailing list!) One question we keep getting asked is, “Who’s the editor?”
The MEGAPACK™ ebook series (except where specifically credited) are a group effort. Everyone at Wildside works on them. This includes John Betancourt (me), Carla Coupe, Steve Coupe, Shawn Garrett, Helen McGee, Bonner Menking, Colin Azariah-Kribbs, A.E. Warren, and many of Wildside’s authors…who often suggest stories to include (and not just their own!)

Note: we only consider stories that have already been professionally published. This is not a market for new works.
TYPOS
Unfortunately, as hard as we try, a few typos do slip through. We update our ebooks periodically, so make sure you have the current version (or download a fresh copy if it’s been sitting in your ebook reader for months.) It may have already been updated.
