Time Agents Ross Murdock and Gordon Ashe return for another assignment, this time to the tropical island paradise planet of Hawaika. Something apocalyptic has occurred in this planet’s history, altering its topography and cleansing it of all intelligent life. But something goes wrong when they attempt a peek at the past through a Time Gate, and with the Polynesian girl Karara and her trained dolphins Tino-rau and Taua, are plunged into a conflict between a dying super-race, barbarian natives, and invading aliens. (Summary by Mark Nelson) (6 hr 18 min)

Reviews

awesome story!


(5 stars)

really enjoyed this story! Of course Mark's reading made it all the more enjoyable as always. I have to say Mark is absolutely one of my favorite readers on here and I always wished he and Greg Margarite together with Phil Chenevert would have gotten together and done a collaboration.

Another great story by Ms Norton


(5 stars)

Really enjoyed another time travel adventure of Ross and Ash. Liked the the setting and characters. And as usual Mark does a great narrative.


(3.5 stars)

Andre Norton has a vivid imagination. It is interesting seeing her weave her world of fantasy con sci-fi. At times it feels she takes much license in this weaving by way of creating ambiguity to advance a mystical twist. Also sometimes feels that your hearing the reading of a sequel and so missing some critical background info that never gets covered. Otherwise good story with somewhat interesting if flat characters. Mark Nelson reads superbly as usual.

another good Mark Nelson read


(4 stars)

It's a period scifi book with a few twists that are fun (the dolphins are a good touch); the reader makes the difference in what could be just another book. The female character is given more competency than the usual period misogyny, but it is still irritating.

Great narration


(5 stars)

Andre Norton wrote good stories. Very thankful to Mark Smith and Nelson for enlightening by choosing them for librivox. The Marks narration is good always byt Nortons stories are always too short.. she should have made them more Epic.

Great story
