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. Andre Norton (died 2005) was a significant literary figure of the 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. The early science fiction genre, pioneered by visionaries like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, laid the groundwork for one of literature's most enduring and imaginative forms. The Time Traders stands as an early example of speculative fiction grappling with the promises and perils of science and technology.
