In Stirling's bestselling Island in the Sea of Time, modern Nantucket found
itself trapped in the Bronze Age. In the sequel, Against 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.
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
