Poul Anderson's Time Patrol stories follow Manson Everard, recruited in 1957 into a secret organization that polices time travel, hunting down unauthorized travelers and anyone who would alter history. The series ranges from the waterfall that once refilled the dry Mediterranean basin to Gothic-era Ukraine and Phoenician Tyre, treating each era as a crime scene the Patrol must protect from tampering.
