Time Travelers Never Die started life as a Jack McDevitt novella in the mid-1990s (Hugo- and Nebula-nominated) before he expanded it into a full novel over a decade later; the novella and novel are two forms of the same story rather than a sequel. It follows a small circle of people who gain access to working time travel and use it to step into the past, in McDevitt's characteristic register of curious, history-minded science fiction.

Jodi Taylor's Chronicles of St Mary's follows the disaster-prone historians of St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, who insist they don't 'time travel' but merely 'investigate major historical events in contemporary time' — usually while narrowly avoiding death and causing chaos. Beginning with Just One Damned Thing After Another, the comic time-travel series has grown to nineteen novels ranging across historical periods from the Cretaceous to the twentieth century.

There is a science that reads the future of quadrillions the way an astronomer reads the orbits of stars. It is called psychohistory, and its equations foresee something the ruling Galactic Empire cannot admit: the throne is rotting, and thirty thousand years of barbarism are coming. One man, Hari Seldon, cannot stop the fall. He can only shorten it — by seeding a Foundation of scholars at the rim of the galaxy, a fragile institution built to carry knowledge across the dark and cut the interregnum to a single millennium. This is a universe told in the register of history itself: the long view, the calm of deep time, empires measured in centuries and men measured against them. The spine is Asimov's original trilogy — Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation — followed decades later by the sequels Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth and the prequels Prelude to Foundation and Forward the Foundation. Late in life Asimov braided this in with his other future histories: the Robot novels of detective Elijah Baley and his humaniform partner R. Daneel Olivaw (The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, The Robots of Dawn, Robots and Empire) and the early Galactic Empire novels (Pebble in the Sky and its kin), until one continuous chronicle ran from the first thinking robots to the Second Empire. Other hands extend it — the Second Foundation Trilogy by Gregory Benford, Greg Bear, and David Brin, and shared-world spinoffs such as Robot City — so the corpus sprawls beyond a single author's tidy shelf. What distinguishes it is that the drama is intellectual: crises resolved by insight, nerve, and dialogue rather than fleets and blades, each turn hinging on the hidden logic of the Seldon Plan. Begin where readers have always begun — with Foundation, and the original trilogy in publication order. The rest opens outward from there.

Larry Niven's Svetz stories follow Hanville Svetz, a dimension-traveling agent sent to retrieve unusual specimens and creatures, with titles like The Flight of the Horse (1971) and Leviathan! built around individual retrieval missions gone strange.
