Publisher's summary

Having revitalized the classic Solar Queen series to critical acclaim, Andre Norton and Sherwood Smith now turn their storytelling talents to Norton's popular Time Traders series. Time agents Ross Murdock and Eveleen Riorden are recalled from their honeymoon to take part in a dangerous assignment: find a team of Russian scientists who have vanished without a trace from a research mission in the past of a far-off planet.

Along with a team of Russian time agents with their own mysterious agenda and Saba, a new agent teamed with Gordon Ashe, they leap into the alien world's distant history. There they encounter several alien races, whose appearance, language, and customs are almost incomprehensibly strange. Something changed this world, and music seems the only tool that might prove a key to unlocking the planet's secrets. But as they try to decipher a digital alien Rosetta stone, time is running out for their mission. Ross now knows what happened to the missing scientists - but can he save his team before they too vanish forever?

This thrilling adventure of a desperate race against treacherous time itself is a tale filled with excitement and wonder in the grand Time Traders tradition.

Narration detracts from the story.

I think that the story was Ok but the narration was bad. At times, it sounded like the narrator was reading the story one word at a time.

Where do I go to get my wasted time back?

I love Norton’s stories and Time travel books. I admire and have read or listened to almost all her work. Echoes in Time was a mishmash of plots, alien, races, and inexplicable, poor writing. I can’t believe Norton did much of the writing. This must be a Baldies plot to destroy her reputation.
