About this ebook
“Utterly engaging...a page-turner that is certain to win the author legions of new readers and fans.”—George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones
It's spring on Nantucket and everything is perfectly normal, until a sudden storm blankets the entire island. When the weather clears, the island's inhabitants find that they are no longer in the late twentieth century...but have been transported instead to the Bronze Age! Now they must learn to survive with suspicious, warlike peoples they can barely understand and deal with impending disaster, in the shape of a would-be conqueror from their own time.

With out a doubt on of the best books i have read in years, Mr. Sterling has solid well defined characters and brings the 1250 bc world to life with zest and appeal.

An excellent start to an excellent series. You can tell the man did his research and as a result it really makes the world he created, or modified?, feel so real! Plus the fact that it ties in with the Emberverse series makes it even more enjoyable.

This is an immensely interesting book based on the concept of time travel with an intriguing twist. I enjoyed reading it and found it educational as well for those who enjoy history and potential history.
