Pan Sagittarius - a "standalone" novel by Ian Wallace. [Since I haven't read this, I'm relying on the flap copy or the best plot summary I could find]:

Pan Sagittarius is a free-lance troubleshooter whose field of operations is all the realities that ever might have been. From his home base on a planet not unlike Earth as it might be in our future, he conducts a mission to the legendary if-nodes of Antan. This is the center of time and space where unrealized histories are stored for possible actualization. His assignment: to enter the mind of a key person in a historically crucial moment to affect the host's motivation - without forcing his choices - to make possible an alternative outcome. And Pan does not enjoy immunity from the consequences. His existence, too, is at stake, along with the course of history of all the planets in the universe... Pan is a lusty, resourceful adventurer whose wit and seeming recklessness conceal a profoundly brilliant intellect.

[Apparently this is linked to the "Croyd" series by Pan being an identical duplicate of Croyd - but there is no direct reference or connection mentioned in this volume.]
