R. Martin hailed it as “an utterly engaging account of what happens when the isle of Nantucket is whisked back into the Bronze Age.” Now, the adventure continues...\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n In the years since the Event, the Republic of Nantucket has done its best to recreate the better ideas of the modern age. But the evils of its time resurface in the person of William Walker, renegade Coast Guard officer, who is busy building an empire for himself based on conquest by technology. When Walker reaches Greece and recruits several of their greater kinglets to his cause, the people of Nantucket have no choice. If they are to save the primitive world from being plunged into bloodshed on a twentieth-century scale, they must defeat Walker at his own game: war.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAmazon.com Review\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Stirling's bestselling\u003cbr\u003e\nIsland in the Sea of Time, modern Nantucket found itself trapped in the Bronze Age. In the sequel,\u003cbr\u003e\nAgainst the Tide of Years, the renegade William Walker forges a dangerous alliance with the ancient Greek kings Agamemnon and Odysseus; Commodore Marian Alston faces terrible sea storms and cannon-armed Phoenician ships in an anachronistic Age of Sail; and the outnumbered Nantucketers race Walker to make contact with the Babylonian Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\n Of course this ambitious, action-packed series is perfect for time-travel, alternate-history, and military-SF fans. But epic-fantasy readers, Burroughs and Haggard fans desiring a modern update of the lost-civilization adventure novel, and anyone who ever read Patrick O'Brian for the terrific sea-battles will enjoy it as well. --Cynthia Ward\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReview\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Another exciting and explosive tale of ambition, ingenuity, intrigue, and discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\nAgainst the Tide of Years is even more compelling than\u003cbr\u003e\nIsland in the Sea of Time—but just as much fun.” – Jane Lindskold, author of\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen the Gods Are Silent\u003cbr\u003e\n “Amazingly real.
