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.

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?
