Now this book was just right for my reading taste - time travel, competent people pulling through, enough history to enjoy the differences, and some action. Not everything is smooth sailing, and some characters need more work to be completely fleshed out, but it's a solid 4 stars. Of course there some serious gore and over-all shitty handling of women in the hands of past men, but there's enough of positive energy that things are going to change to be eager to read more.Reading some of the more

AudiobookCan I book about a modern day island on the American east coast (Nantucket) going back in time be boring? Yes. And for an isolated island with minimal supplies there is a lot of traveling going on - to Europe, to the Caribbean, South America. I know the author didn't want to bog down the book with descriptions of days and days of travel, but sometimes it seemed they were one day in Nantucket and then after waiting a week (no real sense of urgency - just we're going as fast as we can?!),

This book had/has the potential to get bogged down in the details. Part of the whole alternate history/time travel allure is everything we take for granted in the modern world that doesn't exist in this setting. The down side is that you can get lost in describing all the re-invention you have to do to the detriment of the story. Stirling rides a pretty good line creating a story with drama that you want to keep reading and having the speculative details add to the story. One of the main

4.5 stars. A very enjoyable read.

I was completely hooked by the plot, but the writing and character development brought the rating down a few points. The Island of Nantucket (with all of the people, buildings, ships and technology within a certain radius) was mysteriously sent back in time to the year 1200 B.C. The most interesting parts of the book for me were the efforts to form a government and society and provide continued sustenance and safety of the people. Stirling reasoned through all of this very well, and when he



Despite having the same rating and similar a premise, I actually liked this book more than 1632 by Eric Flint. I liked the fact that Nantucket stayed in the same geographical location. Moving West Virginia to Germany to put them in the middle of the action was a plot device that annoyed me. All in all, this feels like a more realistic take on the idea of a town moving back in time. Relatively speaking, I mean. And its missing a lot of that overzealous American patriotism that became so annoying
