About this listen

 Ten years ago, the 20th century and the Bronze Age were tossed together by a mysterious Event. In the decade since, the Republic of Nantucket has worked hard to create a new future for itself, using the technological know-how retained from modern times to explore and improve conditions for the inhabitants of the past.

Some of these peoples have become allies. Some have turned instead to the renegade Coast Guard officer William Walker. And, for 10 years, the two sides have tested each other, feinting and parrying, to decide who will be the ones to lead this brave new world into the future. The final battle lines have now been drawn. And only one side can emerge the victor.

Critic Reviews

"Stirling's imaginative foray into time travel should please fans of alternative history." ( Library Journal)

Ok basic storyline. Narrated well, but the breakup of story (Nantucket, Babylon etc) was difficult to follow. You’re thinking they are still in Nantucket and the story goes for 4 sentences before you realise it’s moved to Babylon.

And Jesus wept, keep the poetry to yourself.

But I saw red during the ‘homage’ to “Zulu” with the malingering Hook.

Firstly, “homage” is just another word for plagiarism, AND to pay homage to the most disgusting part of that movie (where Hook is a malingerer, even though the historical Hook was a model soldier) is just nauseating.

Don’t bother.

Buy something else with your credits.

Plagiarism is NEVER good, even when hidden as homage
