This novel was one John Brunner's early ones. It was a complicated tale of time travel as a weapon, somewhat reminiscent of Fritz Leiber's The Big Time. Though this was written first. I loved the cover art with the large blue creature ripping its way through a wall, and this was the main reason for my reading it. That scene was fairly early on in the novel.

This novel is fairly typical of the times, it was published in 1959, so it seemed a bit dated. But the ideas it inspired, now that is why I like the old style SF. They are idea saturated if read right.
