Reception
Boucher and McComas praised the title story for its "fine swashbuckling and much ingenious speculation", but found the other story far inferior.[2] Aldiss and Wingrove, comparing The Legion of Time to a fairy tale, declared that "its plot, while being philosophically meaningless, is a delight."[3]
In 2014, the novel was nominated for a Retro-Hugo Award.[4]
