encountered only once before; however, they do not seem to be allies of the Baldies.
The natives are anxiously awaiting word from their oracle, but nothing new has been
spoken in the past few months. Some Kallistans have left the island anyway, terrified by the
frequent earthquakes and the steam, smoke, ash and rock ejected by the volcano. Linnea
claims to be an Egyptian Earth-Goddess priestess to infiltrate the Oracle's household and is
there when the seer orders the evacuation of the island.
 This novel is driven by the imminent threat of eruption, so is more like a hit and run than
the almost leisurely exploration in the other tales in this series. The team are all disappointed
by the lack of opportunity to study this almost unknown culture, but Linnea, the newcomer, is
particularly frustrated by the time limit.
Recommended for all Norton fans and anyone who enjoys tales of ancient societies in a SF
setting.

This book is an exicting story which moves at a brisk pace. But it is part of a series, and in
this book the principle heavies are revised to be ecologists. It does not fir the earlier
portrayals of the baldies at all!
In the first two books of the series the baldies were the (ruthless) dominant race of an
interstellar empire. The revision of their charactor and motives does not fit the earlier books in
the series. That was a very jarring element to me.
Even so, the book was an excellent read.

When archeologists discover a modern earing burried beneath tons of lava, they see an
anomoly. Scientists at the time project see something different. A possible attempt by aliens
to redirect human history, destroying the modern world. A small team of project agents are
sent back to the ancient Greece of Minoan civilization--and Atlantis itself--to ensure that
humanity's destiny is not subverted.
Before the ancient civilization of Kalliste was destroyed in a huge volcanic explosion, it had
achieved technological levels not seen again until modern times. Clearly the world would have
been transformed had it survived--but would the transformation have been for the better?
Authors Andre Norton and Sherwood Smith add a degree of ethical complexity to a science
fiction adventure. The project agents think that they are doing the right thing, but so do the
two separate groups of aliens that they face.
The Time Traders series formed a part of many baby boomers introduction to science
fiction and still holds power today. Norton and Smith's decision to add ethical complexity to
the adventure gives strength to ATLANTIS ENDGAME. Young adult readers will find Norton and
Smith's style to be approachable while more mature readers will find a deceptive intellectual
subtlty. Emotional depths, however, are only hinted at.
