Loading... A Long Time Until Now (Temporal Displacement) (2015)by Michael Z. Williamson
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) wetdryvac | Mar 2, 2021 |  To a certain extent this book satisfies this need but the book dwells too much on sexual frustration and the women constantly being worried about being raped by others including their time travel companions and I get it....but to revisit this over and over again in a 1000 page novel gets tiresome. One thing that bugged me is the constant reference to military acronyms in the book. There is about a 10 page glossary on them but it is a nuisance flipping back and forth. Also the author uses first and last name of the 10 people freely throughout the book and it is confusing... it is like there are 20 people in the group, not ten. Sometimes he starts a paragraph with the word he or she but there is no reference to who he or she is until a paragraph or too. It can feel like "they did this, they did that" but overall it is an average read with little development of character.

Belongs to Series
Book 1 in a new series from the creator of the best-selling Freehold Universe series. A military unit is thrust back into Paleolithic times with only their guns and portable hardware. Ten soldiers on convoy in Afghanistan suddenly find themselves lost in time. Somehow, they arrived in Earth's Paleolithic Asia. With no idea how they arrived or how to get back, the shock of the event is severe. They discover groups of the similarly displaced: Imperial Romans, Neolithic Europeans, and a small cadre of East Indian peasants. Despite their technological advantage, the soldiers only have ten people, and know no way home. Then two more time travelers arrive from a future far beyond the present. These time travelers may have the means to get back, but they aren't giving it up. In fact, they may have a treacherous agenda of their own, one that may very well lead to the death of the displaced in a harsh and dangerous era. About Michael Z.
