Reception
Dave Langford reviewed The River of Time for White Dwarf #94, and stated that "more conventional but contains some nice genre-mixing: in 'The Loom of Thessaly' the weaving Fates encounter spaceborne weaponry, and 'Thor Meets Captain America' offers a nasty world where Hitler did achieve his dreams of recruiting supernatural aid."[1]
