"The Time Traders" by Andre Norton is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows a young man named Ross Murdock, who finds himself in a detention room facing a judge. With a complicated past and a record of trouble, Ross is given the choice to volunteer for a mysterious government project instead of undergoing rehabilitation. This choice propels him into an intriguing journey involving time travel and the exploration of unknown worlds. At the start of the novel, Ross Murdock is presented as an unassuming yet capable character who navigates the complexities of his environment with a mix of defiance and stealth. As he meets with the judge and then a military officer, he learns he has been tapped for a project that could redeem him. Soon he is whisked away in a helicopter to a remote base, where he undergoes rigorous testing and meets other potential volunteers, each with their quirks and backstories. The opening chapters set the stage for Ross's transformation into a time trader, hinting at the challenges he may face in altering history and dealing with the darker aspects of the experiment he’s volunteered for. The mix of action, tension, and the allure of time travel offers an enticing premise for readers interested in speculative fiction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
