This book, the 3rd in his series of transplanted Nantucketers, was very enjoyable. Like the previous 2 (Island in the Sea of Time and Against the Tide of Years) before it Stirling manages to make you feel right there next to the characters, both good and bad, amidst the tall grasses on the plains of unexplored America, at the parapets of a fort, on the deck of a rolling frigate, even in the swelter of the Early Middle East. I have read almost everything this author has written and he keeps outdoing himself. Stirling is writing or has written (sometime in 2006) 3 novels which will follow the tale of those transplanted into modern day America when these were sent back in time. I am looking forward to them.

This is the conclusion of the (Bronze Age, Book 3). I truly enjoyed the premise and telling of the story, However, I found the third book to be overlong. It is a good read and really enjoyable.

This is the third of the Nantucket/time travel/alternate history series. I have just finished it and enjoyed it very much. I wish there were a fourth book in the series, but I think there isn't.
