  The Time Traders

  by ANDRE NORTON

  If it is possible to conquer space, then perhaps it is also possible toconquer time. At least that was the theory American scientists wereexploring in an effort to explain the new sources of knowledge theRussians possessed. Perhaps Russian scientists had discovered how totransport themselves back in time in order to learn long-forgottensecrets of the past.

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

  For once they were transferred by time machine to the remote Balticregion where the Russian post was located, Ross and his partner Ashewere swept into a fantastic action-filled adventure involving Russians,superstitious prehistoric men, and the aliens of a lost galacticcivilization that demanded every ounce of courage the Americanspossessed.

  Andre Norton's earlier books, _Star Born_ and _The Stars Are Ours!_,have made this author one of the most popular writers in thescience-fiction field. In this daring adventure into the mists of time,readers will find themselves transported to still more exciting "other"worlds.
