The Company is an organisation that spans centuries. So Dr Zeus invests two more things: a means of travelling back to the past and The Company. It's a great invention but one for which there was no viable market because those who could afford it were too old for it to work and the benefits were too far in future to generate a decent return. His first invention was a process that bestows immortality on people by installing various pieces of technology in them when they are still children. The purpose of time travel is to make Dr Zeus, the person who invented it, fabulously rich and extremely powerful.ĭr Zeus thinks big. Kage Baker starts from a very different place. There are quite a few time travel series out there and, different as they are, most of them have some sense that history is important and time travel should help to spread knowledge and solve problems. It's a series of time travel novels called 'The Company' and it's written by Kage Baker. I'll be reading the entire twelve book series. So, I'm surprised and delighted to find an extraordinarily good Science Fiction series that's been around since the Nineties and which I completely missed. I've been reading it for more than fifty years. Science Fiction is my most preferred genre.
