Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: I was really disappointed in this book. I loved all of Andre Norton's original Time Traders stories. This one took half the book to just get the story started! Not like my old Andre Norton at all. Spare me any more of these!

Summary: A sequel to something
Review: It seems necessary to have read a previous book to fully appreciate this novel. The opening chapters make continual references to previous action. The first half of the book develops the characters, and almost entirely deals with interactions between individuals in a group. The book starts out slow-paced and it was difficult to hold my interest. The team of individuals finally arrives on an alien planet in Chapter 11, their mission to travel back in time on the planet to attempt the rescue of another team that has disappeared in the past, discover the origin of artifacts, etc. The pace of the action picks up when they go back in time, and it becomes hard to put the book down as they unravel the mystery of the planet and determine the fate of the missing team. They also encouter the paradox of time travel, i.e., some things exist in the present because time travelers from the present visited the past to create what is found in the present.

Summary: Not Sci-Fi but Witch World Fantasy
Review: The characters are out of Time Traders, but the story is pure Witch World. I read Norton from the time I was a small child but stopped when she went heavily into fantasy starting with Witch World. If you are a fantasy fan - read the book; if you are a si-fi fan - pass and keep looking.

Summary: The Perfect Duo
Review: The glitz of the fifties from Norton, and the wonderful characterization and prose from Sherwood Smith. The pairing couldn't be better! I hope to see more from this team.

Summary: Sad echo of the great Norton
Review: This is the only truly dull book with Andre Norton's name on it that I have ever read. In so far as I was able to grasp the plot, the time travelers (only one of whom is partially described) have gone to a planet where a Russian team vanished. This is supposed to be an urgent, emergency mission although that makes no sense if they are time travellers. For some reason, not explained, they go to a time a hundred years AFTER the disappearance. They visit a city that is not described at all, a city inhabited by strange races that are not described, they meet people there who are not described, they conveniently get jobs with no questions although they must resemble none of the people there. One of their party is incarcerated in a House of Knowledge or something like that which is not explained though the characters seem to know something about it. In fact the characters and the author, no doubt, seem to know what this whole story is about although they do not communicate their vision to the reader. This is too silly even for science fiction. I fell asleep on page 173 so I cannot say how it ended, nor do I care. It is that bad. I gave it one star because the program wouldn't let me give it anything less.

Summary: Anything Norton writes is pure gold to me
Review: Time Agents Ross Murdoch and Eveleen Riorden are enjoying their honeymoon at the home of fellow agent Gordon Ashe in Safe Harbor, Maine when the emergency call came. The next day a helicopter arrives to take them back to the Project Star Center. When the newlyweds arrive at the home base, they are introduced to Colonel Zinaida Vasilyeva of the rival Russians. Zinaida explains that a scientific team jumped back in time on the planet Yilayil and vanished. A combined American-Russian team will be sent back to land one century past the date the Russian scientists leaped. Ross, Eveleen, Ashe, and the Russian are to learn what happened and whether the malevolent Baldies are involved in radically changing this planet. Andre Norton & Sherwood Smith continue to revive Ms. Norton's classic science fiction series. The duo successfully "modernized" the Solar Queen novels and now turns to the Time Traders books. ECHOES OF TIME is an entertaining tale that stays with the essence of the original series, but updates the Cold War rivalry into a more nineties perspective. Though needed, this technique slows the tale down a bit until the time travelers begin their journey into the past as the plot turns into a science fiction mystery. At that point in time, the novel turns into an exciting adventure that will electrify fans of the grandmaster Ms. Norton and have new readers search for some of the original tales. Harriet Klausner
