About this book
Time Fuze is a book by Randall Garrett, with illustrations by Paul Orban. The opening says the ultradrive had just one slight drawback: it set up a shock wave that made suns explode, which made the problem of getting back home a delicate one.
Commander Benedict keeps his eyes on the rear plate and tells the crew to cut the power, saying they ought to be safe enough here. Dr. Leicher, of the astronomical staff, says that even at this distance a star going nova ought to be quite a display. The commander tells Dr. Leicher that this is just about the foulest coincidence that could happen to the first interstellar vessel ever to leave the Solar System. A calculation puts it that Alpha Centauri A began to explode the instant they came out of ultradrive, with a possible error of plus or minus two seconds.
