After they start encountering alien technology, it includes space travel adventures as well as time travel adventures (including traveling to other planets and then visiting their pasts). It evolves into a book series featuring myth arcs, intrepid merchants, and exploring ancient civilizations, both human and alien.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The books are: The Time Traders (1958) Galactic Derelict (1959) The Defiant Agents (1962) Key Out Of Time (1963) Firehand (1994, with P.M.

Aborted Arc: Due to Author Existence Failure, the overarching Myth Arc that the series was building up will never be complete.

Advanced Ancient Acropolis: The first planet the group lands on in Galactic Derelict. It is a large, possibly planetwide city, but it is mostly in ruins and abandoned. Again, for the last planet they land on in Galactic Derelict, before their return trip home. What are the remains of an ancient spaceport with obvious signs of technology, and multiple cultures, but only remains of cultures and sentient creatures, until Echoes in Time, when they go back to its past, and revealed to be a highly integrated society with multiple sentient beings and tight-knit, evolved culture.
