First published 1965
Type Novel
Series The Ship That Sailed the Time Stream #1

Ensign Joe Rate, captain of the experimental Navy yawl Alice, figured that everything that could happen to him in one day had already happened. First, after a freak electrical storm at sea the Alice had been thrown a thousand years backward in time, and it looked as if they were stranded in the past. They had provisions for two weeks at most. Then there was the voluptuous barbarian girl they'd saved from captivity - her presence on board a ship full of normal sailors wasn't likely to lessen the problems of the situation. <p>Then Joe saw the four Viking raiding ships bearing straight for him, and in a few minutes the first spear thunked into the Alice's foredeck. The Ship that Sailed the Time Stream is a novel of picaresque adventure in a sword-and-sorcery past much more lively than any historian every dreamed.
