The Panchronicon Plot

What better way to rid yourself of your political enemies than to shove them back into the past and maroon them there? Isn't exactly murder but it sure could raise hob with history! That was what happened when they yelled for the Wild Talent Division. The actual time machine was a secret known only to the president - who was apparently the culprit. But someone like Jake Conger would be just weird enough to be able to locate the kind of nut who could travel in time himself. (from the back cover of the DAW Books first edition)
