Search - Island in the Sea of Time (Island in the Sea of Time, Bk 1)

This is a great book. There are times when it really slows down; however, it is worth working through the slow parts for the rest. Great combat, interesting plot, and a slew of great characters. An excellent read!

This is a great time travel/ alternate history book. Good details, great imagination and solid writing. Recommended to everyone who likes science fiction.

I enjoyed this book very much. The characters stayed consistent and the science & research was well thought-out. I would definitely recommend this one and will be looking for others by this author.

The story was interesting, but the author has a very dark place in his soul that comes out in the form of described rape, torture, etc. I finished book one, but am opting out of the rest of the series. If that sort of thing doesn't disturb you, the book was well written. If it would bother you, you'd best pass. Also, very poor research especially in the medical field. I had a number of eye roll moments from that.

This was an entertaining read with a wide array of interesting characters, but I felt on occasion the author didn't exploit opportunities to expand on building a new society from scratch. Some of the technical details were lacking or rushed. The sub-plot of the main antagonist was a bit too wild and unbelievable, and it seems like his character development could have lent to a better plot. The book was also about 100 pages too long in the way epic fantasies are too long, but Stirling manages to carry it well enough.
