Helpful Score: 3

This book, the 3rd in his series of transplanted Nantucketers, was very enjoyable. Like the previous 2 (Island in the Sea of Time and Against the Tide of Years) before it Stirling manages to make you feel right there next to the characters, both good and bad, amidst the tall grasses on the plains of unexplored America, at the parapets of a fort, on the deck of a rolling frigate, even in the swelter of the Early Middle East. I have read almost everything this author has written and he keeps outdoing himself. Stirling is writing or has written (sometime in 2006) 3 novels which will follow the tale of those transplanted into modern day America when these were sent back in time. I am looking forward to them.
