Publisher Description
DRAFTED INTO THE ARMY OF TIME.
Intelligence agents have uncovered something which seems beyond belief, but the evidence is incontrovertible: the USA's greatest adversary on the world stage is sending its agents back through time! And someone or something unknown to our history is presenting them with technologies—and weapons—far beyond our most advanced science. We have only one option: create time-transfer technology ourselves, find the opposition's ancient source . . . and take it down.
When small-time criminal Ross Murdock and Apache rancher Travis Fox stumble separately onto America's secret time travel project, Operation Retrograde, they are faced with a challenge greater than either could have imagined possible. Their mere presence means that they know too much to go free. But Murdock and Fox have a thirst for adventure, and Operation Retrograde offers that in spades.
Both men will become time agents, finding reserves of inner heroism they had never expected. Their journeys will take the battle to the enemy, from ancient Britain to prehistoric America, and finally to the farthest reaches of interstellar space . . .

"This was one of the first books I can remember reading, and I continue to think about it. So, my beginnings in reading started with Science Fiction.It is relatively simple, but, again, I think about it to this day. "

The Time Traders Listener Reviews
-
" Good '50's SciFi from a classic author. This was a rollicking good adventure that probably contributed to the development of many of today's SciFi authors. It' kind of like reading an early episode of Star Trek. "
— Robert, 2/24/2011 -
" Some interesting ideas and it was easy to like the main character, although there could have been a bit more character development. "
— Lindsay, 11/29/2010 -
" Simple but charming tale of travelling back in time, overcoming adversities and the occasional alien. "
— Bridie, 10/15/2010 -
" Another rather dated book from SF Master Andre Norton. Two novels re-released together. In each, an outsider stumbles into the clandestine government Cold War time travel program. Some interesting stuff, but nothing that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Nostalgic fun though. "
— Baron, 6/9/2010 -
" A little stilted but excellent story. "
— Heather, 5/18/2010 -
" Interesting concept, but poorly executed. Minimal plot, and most of the book centered around running away from yet another pursuer. I like a frivolous sci-fi book now and again, but this was just dumb. "
— Steven, 1/7/2010 -
" It's a clean and exciting book although I find it lacks the action that usually comes with stories of this scale. It's a timeless piece because it spend most of it's time on character and plot rather than technical jargon. "
— Marman, 11/26/2009 -
" I enjoyed this time-travel book though the writing-style is a little outdated. "
— Gerold, 10/22/2009
