Reviews"Another exciting and explosive tale of ambition, ingenuity, intrigue, and discovery. Against the Tide of Year s is even more compelling than Island in the Sea of Time --but just as much fun." - Jane Lindskold, author of When the Gods Are Silent "Amazingly real. The research is impeccable, the writing excellent." - Harry Turtledove

Synopsis"STIRLING HAS SURPASSED HIS PREVIOUS WORK," raved Science Fiction Chronicle of his bestselling novel Island in the Sea of Time, and George R. 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... 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.
