The Time Traders

Ross Murdock thinks he has found a way out of prison—until a judge sends him into a snowstorm, a strange aircraft, and a journey that leaves him waking in a world he cannot place.

In the last quarter of the twentieth century, Ross is a practiced survivor: behind his meek smile lies a sharp mind and a record bad enough to land him in a government rehabilitation program. Instead, he volunteers for a secret project, only to be hustled from a detention room into the hands of Major Kelgarries and a needle-slim craft whose purpose no one explains. Ross can tell he is being kept off balance, but he has no choice except to follow where the government takes him. What kind of mission needs a man like Ross—and where has it carried him?
