THE MAN WHO CAME EARLY

BY POUL ANDERS0N (1926- )

THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION JUNE

Poul Anderson has won seven Hugo A wards, three Nebulas, and the Gandolf Award in a career that now exceeds forty years. What is remarkable about these accomplishments is that they have come his way for such a diverse body of work—hard science fiction, high fantasy, humorous science fiction, sword and sorcery, and socioeconomic sf Poul Anderson has done it all, and he is still going strong in his fifth decade as a professional writer.

STAR WAYS was published in 1956 and is one of his least appreciated but most interesting books. But “The Man Who Came Early” was clearly the highlight of the year for him (at least professionally), because it remains one of his best stories. It’s based on an attractive idea that has been well mined in sf—a man from the future goes back in time and pits his knowledge and technology against the natives—but it has never been done better than it is here.
