Review:
"Another exciting and explosive tale of ambition, ingenuity, intrigue, and discovery. Against the Tide of Years is even more compelling than Island in the Sea of Time--but just as much fun." - Jane Lindskold, author of When the Gods Are Silent "Amazingly real. The research is impeccable, the writing excellent." - Harry Turtledove
From the Author:
"Against The Tide of Years" -- Americans cast away in Time.
I've always loved time-travel stories, and particularly those about castaways in time, modern people stranded in the past.
I've always loved time-travel stories, and particularly those about castaways in time, modern people stranded in the past.
The idea for the saga of the Islanders came to me on a moonlit beach on Nantucket. What if _this_ island were cast back in time to the remote past -- to 1250 BC? How would the people here, modern Americans like us, survive? How would they affect that distant, alien time and how would it affect them?
My wife and I honeymooned on Nantucket, and we vacation there every spring on our anniversary. But _that_ visit I spent pinned to my laptop, scrambling to get the scenes and characters down. After that came the most enjoyable writing and research of my career.
The result was ISLAND IN THE SEA OF TIME, and now the sequel, AGAINST THE TIDE OF YEARS.
They were very different from my previous work, and it was a struggle to find them a 'home'. Finally, ROC Books decided that the readers weren't going to be frightened off by something a little out of the ordinary in the way of adventure, and even gave me good covers!
The reader response has been a delight, and born out our hopes. (One has even set up a webpage devoted to the series, carrying sample chapters of AGAINST THE TIDE OF YEARS)
I hope you all enjoy exploring the world of the "Event" as much as I do, and the chronicle of Jared Cofflin, Marian Alston, and their friends... and enemies.
