The Time Traders

By Andre Norton
The Time Traders by Andre Norton digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The Time Traders is the first book in Andre Norton’s Time Traders series. First published in 1958 by World Publishing Co., The Time Traders is told from the perspective of Ross Murdock, a young criminal faced with a choice: be turned over to the new Rehabilitation Service or volunteer for a secret government project.

Murdock chooses the secret government project, hoping for a chance to escape. At the Arctic base he learns what the project is, and instead of escaping he joins a team posing as Beaker Traders during Europe’s Bronze Age. His team makes several jumps through time searching for the source of technology the Reds are using to gain advantages in the present.

“Time Traders felt chunky, like there was a lot going on outside the scope of the main character that always just managed to save him. It was the always that annoyed me. Still the historical depth struck me and I found I enjoyed the history while not particularly caring for the characters and story. Onto Galactic Derelict which if chapter 1 is any indication the same outside force will be saving Travis... Galactic Derelict did have the same blind luck saving everything. Still the alien worlds and the exploration was a much better story even if it didn't have the historical strength that saved the first one.”
