When petty criminal Ross Murdock and Apache rancher Travis Fox separately stumble upon Operation Retrograde, America's top-secret time-travel project, their special skills come in handy in their new role as time agents, journeying back and forth in time from ancient Britain and America to the distant reaches of space, in an omnibus edition containing The Time Traders and Galactic Derelict.

For this volume, Norton has updated The Time Traders (1958) and Galactic Derelict (1959) to take into account 40 years of political, social, and technological developments--such as computer games, a concluded cold war, and many more female characters in sf--without essentially changing them. In Time Traders, Ross Murdock has the choice of rehabilitation or volunteering for a secret research project, which turns out to be searching the past for the source of illicit technological innovations. In Galactic Derelict, Travis Fox stumbles on a time-travel project and has to be recruited for it; then he and his comrades take an involuntary trip aboard an alien starship that crashed on Earth before recorded history. The characters' can-do attitude and Norton's magic with a story have survived two generations in fine style, and these tales remain the same sort of quintessential fun as Star Wars, and with more intelligence. May there be a market for their further reprinting in 2040! Roland Green
