Island in the Sea of Time Audiobook

" I enjoyed the idea of the book and some of the scholarly details put into the book, but I did not think the writing was different/unique. I may read other books in the series just to see what happens when they all do get to Egypt and how the Nantucket settlement develops. "

" I've definitely read this trilogy before, at least once, maybe twice. It wasn't quite as good as I remembered, but still worthy of reading. "

" My favorite alternate history series. There's been a lot of these published in the past decade and this trilogy is by far the best (imho). The only thing that might bug some folks is the whole "Nantucket is spontaneously teleported back to ancient times without any explanation whatsoever" premise. If you can get over that and just go with the story you're in for a great time. "

" This book was freaking awesome. Not 100% realistic to military standards but what sci-fi book is? If you love the idea of time travel, or alternate realities this is the book for you. I am dying to get my hands on the next book in the series! "

" liked the beginning of this book better than the end - too much fighting for my taste "

" This was supposed to be a read occasionally as a break book. Instead it ate my brain 2 chapters in and I just had to settle in to finish it. Flipside of the Change. Neat stuff. "

" Was pretty good but not as interesting as the premise led me to think it would be. "

" Enjoyable. I actually liked these characters more than some of the ones in his "dies the fire" series. Same basic premise though - how valuable are your skills when everything you know goes away. "

" The story here was a lot stronger I think that the first in the Dies the Fire series. It was fabulous to read it out of order (as it was written.) I think it would have definitely made the second series less interesting. "

" This is the 3rd time I have read this trilogy and never get tired of these books. I have the entire set of Change novels and will be re-reading them again & again. "

" I didn't think much of this the first time I read it, but I got talked into giving it a re-read (this time the whole series) and it was better - but still not my favorite Stirling. "

" a solid read and it can make one think from time to time how easy today's life really is "

" Absolutely brilliant! This book had me on the edge of my seat throughout - I even got stressed out at one point! So good! "

" Meh... It was a decent read, but I just had trouble buying the premise. It seemed like they were coping way too well with the circumstances and way too fast. I finally got bored and started just leafing through to the end. Wouldn't continue with the series, but I might check out his other series. "

" A very interesting take on how we would restart society if we were flung into the past. "

" Another good book by Stirling. "

" This is definitely a good take on time travel/alternate history genre. The Island of Nantucket trades places with the one from 1200BC (causing the events of the Change of the Emberverse series,) and the people have to figure out how to deal with living 3000 years in the past. It's a lot of fun. "

" This book wins the Bronze Age Nerd Seal of Approval. "

" This was a great alternate history story. What happens when an advanced society is thrown into the past? How do they influence ancient cultures, and how do they survive without modern tech. Very well written 1st book in the series. "

" The first 2/3's I whipped through and then it got....so....slow. I enjoyed reading about how they adapted to the environment and the people of the time. The battles, meh. "

" Absolutely brilliant! This book had me on the edge of my seat throughout - I even got stressed out at one point! So good! "

" Was pretty good but not as interesting as the premise led me to think it would be. "

" it was a good fast read. I thought that Stirling did a plausible job fleshing out the book. The characters were pretty believable. There could have been a little less sex for my taste, but it was over all a good book. "

" I love the premise of this series. "

" I really enjoy his stories, but I wish he would n't use certain words so much. "

" What if Nantucket was transported back in time to 1400 BC? How would they survive, what tech would they have, and how would they affect the ancient world? "
