Why pay for costumes, scenery, props or actors when the most brilliant drama of all time is unfolding before your very eyes, in vivid color – in 1050 A.D.? Just the film crew of that stupendous motion picture saga *Viking Columbus* as they journey back in time to capture history in the making. The story first appeared in *Analog Science Fiction and Fact Magazine* , where it was serialized in three parts in the March–May 1967 issues, under the title The Time Machined Saga.
