Andre Norton (1912–2005)

Read this book in junior high or high school. It was dense packing in a lot of action and travel for Fors in a post-apocalyptic world a couple of centuries past the atomic wars. It would have been the core of a good larger novel with more developed characters. But AN's characters are are well sketched out but lack depth. Why wouldn't they in a 191 page novel. I wonder if this was serialized before it was a book. Reading my old sci-fi on occasion is my mind stepping into a time machine.

F/SF

To better suit the modern reader, technologies and circumstances have been updated over the original 1958 novel.
This, indeed, makes The Time Traders feel less quaint and adds to an already solid novel.
