Nobody knows exactly what happened to the fabled civilisation of ancient Atlantis. Was Atlantis, the incredibly advanced society of legend, destroyed by some superscience device than ran out of control? Did a massive earthquake or volcanic eruption sink the island nation? Or is Atlantis merely a cosmic joke played by ancient historians on gullible theorists millennia afterward?

About the Author:

For well over a half century, Andre Norton has been one of the most popular science fiction and fantasy authors in the world. Since her first SF novels were published in the 1940s, her adventure SF has enthralled readers young and old. With series such as" Time Traders, Solar Queen, Forerunner, Beast Master, Crosstime, "and "Janus," as well as many stand-alone novels, her tales of action and adventure throughout the galaxy have drawn countless readers to science fiction. Her fantasy, including the best-selling "Witch World" series, her "Magic" series, and many other unrelated novels, has been popular with readers for decades. Lauded as a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, she is the recipient of a Life Achievement Award from the World Fantasy Convention. Not only have her books been enormously popular; she also has inspired several generations of SF and fantasy writers, especially many talented women writers who have followed in her footsteps. In the past two decades she has worked with other writers on a number of novels. Most notable among these are collaborations with Mercedes Lackey, the "Halfblood Chronicles, " as well as collaborations with A.C. Crispin (in the "Witch World" series) and Sherwood Smith (in the "Time Traders "and "Solar Queen "series). An Ohio native, Ms. Norton lived for a number of years in Winter Park, Florida, and now makes her home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where she continues to write, and presides over High Hallack, a writers' resource and retreat. Sherwood Smith is the author of a number of science fiction and fantasy novels, including the "Wren "series for Young Adults, the Exordium novels (with Dave Trowbridge), the recent "Atlantis Endgame," a novel of the Time Traders series (with Andre Norton), Solar Queen novels (also with Andre Norton), and many others. She lives south of Los Angeles.

From the Back Cover:

The Time Traders

“Norton and Smith don't just send an old hero through familiar paces. This refashioned Time Traders tale should reward veteran fans of Norton and create some new ones."--Publishers Weekly on Echoes in Time

"The duo successfully 'modernized' the Solar Queen novels and now turns to the Time Traders books. Echoes in 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. An exciting adventure that will electrify fans of the grandmaster Ms. Norton and have many new readers searching for some of the original tales."--The Midwest Book Review on Echoes in Time

"A much-improved, if more thoughtful, re-revival with believable aliens, a reasonable time-travel rationale, and properly worked-out consequences."--Kirkus Reviews on Echoes in Time

"Andre Norton is a superb storyteller whose skill draws the reader completely into a fantastic other world of transposed time."—Chicago Tribune on The Time Traders

"A fine heroic narrative, imaginative, inventive, told with the compelling pulse of the true storyteller."—New York Herald Tribune on The Defiant Agents

"The richness which Andre Norton lavishes on her portraits of the wonder-worlds of the universe, the subtle warmth of the empathic relations she portrays between men and mutated animals, and, above all, the mysteries she suggests and half-reveals--these, in the words of another book, are stories, O my brothers!"—Analog on Key Out Of Time
