The Time Traders
If it is possible to conquer space, then perhaps it is also possible to conquer time. At least that was the theory American scientists were exploring in an effort to explain the new sources of knowledge the Russians possessed. Perhaps Russian scientists had discovered how to transport themselves back in time in order to learn long-forgotten secrets of the past.

That was why young Ross Murdock, above average in intelligence but a belligerently independent nonconformist, found himself on a "hush-hush" government project at a secret base in the Arctic. The very qualities that made him a menace in civilized society were valuable traits in a man who must successfully act the part of a merchant trader of the Beaker people during the Bronze Age.

For once they were transferred by time machine to the remote Baltic region where the Russian post was located, Ross and his partner Ashe were swept into a fantastic action-filled adventure involving Russians, superstitious prehistoric men, and the aliens of a lost galactic civilization that demanded every ounce of courage the Americans possessed.

Editorial Reviews

Chicago Tribune

Andre Norton is a superb storyteller whose skill draws the reader completely into a fantastic other world of transposed time.

New York Times Book Review

The sky's no limit to Andre Norton's imagination...a superb storyteller.

Library Journal

Another female pioneer, Norton is one of the top sf writers of our time. Baen is launching its new Norton series with this volume, which combines the 1958 title story with 1959's Galactic Derelict. Two excellent sf adventures in a quality hardback with a cool cover should make this a good circulator. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
