This wise-ace, street bastard is forced to join these time travellers fighting the REDS. God, I love it. It's like an wormhole onion of espionage. My thing lately has been combinations of feudal/hunting/medieval society mixed with The Science of Future (a lot of the short stories I was reading last month by Everett Cole on Gutenberg follows that sort of line). This has that, since they bounce around a bit between Now and Then and some people from Super Tech Whenever? Norton has a decent skill in letting bad crap happen to her main characters. These are stories where you see you only have a pinch of pages left and you wonder how the hell they'll get out of that. (  ) bzedan | Nov 17, 2008 |  Not a bad book. The writing was a bit light, but ok all in all. Younger readers would enjoy. I can recommend this book. (  ) tcgardner | Oct 15, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0671318292, Mass Market Paperback)DRAFTED INTO THE ARMY OF TIME Intelligence agents have uncovered something which seems beyond belief, but the evidence is incontrovertible: the USAs greatest adversary on the world stage is sending its agents back through time! And someone or something unknown to our history is presenting them with technologies -- and weapons -- far beyond our most advanced science. We have only one option: create time-transfer technology ourselves, find the opposition's ancient source...and take it dawn. When small-time criminal Ross Murdock and Apache rancher Travis Fox stumble separately onto America's secret time travel project, Operation Retrograde, they are faced with a challenge greater than either could have imagined possible. Their mere presence means that they know too much to go free. But Murdock and Fox have a thirst for adventure, and Operation Retrograde offers that in spades. Both men will become time agents, finding reserves of inner heroism they had never expected. Their journeys will take the battle to the enemy, from ancient Britain to prehistoric America, and finally to the farthest reaches of interstellar space...
