Book Description:
A cosmic disturbance transports the island of Nantucket and its inhabitants over three thousand years back in time to the shores of a Stone Age America. In addition to coping with the day-to-day problems of survival and the trauma of losing all connection with the modern world, the residents of the time-stranded island find their lives complicated by the presence of native tribes across the water. Stirling's imaginative foray into time travel should also please fans of alternate history.

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 very interesting alternate history book. Nantucket Island is suddenly transported into 1250 B. C. There are two or more subsequent books that I am currently looking for.

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.

I loved this book! Another excellent take you away from it all, read by S.M. Sterling. I agree with some of the other reviewers that in spots it could get a bit slow. Overall the book was fantasic though- just as the other work's of Sterling that I have read are. Are there sequels to this book? Another commenter alluded to such. Does anyone know?

During a perfect spring evening on Nantucket a violent storm erupts and a dome of crawling colored fire blankets the island. When the howling winds subside and the night skies clear, the stars appear to have shifted. The mainland has vbecome a wilderness of unbroken forest, where tools of bronze and tone litter the beaches and primitive natives scatter in terror.

A startling phenomenom has occured; the island if Nantucket has been swept into the long-ago past of the year of 1250 B.C.

After a storm sweeps Nantucket Island, the residents find they have traveled into the past. 1250, to be exact. Can they survive?

Good book. In line with Stirling's other novels. If you like this kind of "what would happen if" genre you will like this book.

It was interesting and a good "what if" you went back in time by some fluke.
