A book I read a couple decades or so ago is on my mind, and I can't remember what it was.
The protagonist is caught in a time warp where he speeds a thousand centuries or more into the future. Civilization rises and falls (five times over IIRC) in ice ages and wars with telepathic mutants during this time. At the peak he can see radio broadcast stations blue-shifted into visible light.
Another detail I remember of the book is that the future had some kind of sidewise in time viewer, and they were looking at a timeline where "Mlart the Conquerer" (funny I remember that name) was never born and a nuclear war occurs.
I actually had a couple copies of that book (from garage sales, etc.) so I know it was fairly popular at the time. Anyone know what I am talking about?
ADDITION: It was paperback...I think the cover was mostly a dark blue or purple, but I am not sure about that.
It was not a Big Name author...and may have been (or was intended to be) the first in a series.
