Description
Mark Lewellyn is an overweight, forty-something couch potato leading a life dominated by computers, television, and an array of other electronic gadgets: in other words, the typical modern man. Outside in a rainstorm, Mark is struck by twin lightning bolts that steal him from his lazy suburban slumber and propel him back into stone-age America. The absence of a McDonald's and K-Mart on every corner proves to be the least of Mark's troubles, as he's forced to confront the very essence of show more life: basic survival. Suddenly he faces buffalo herds, bears, floods, primitive villagers and warring Indian tribes. This is not only a thrilling story of great adventure, but also the fascinating evolution of a nobody lost in modern anonymity who becomes a man. show lessTags

Not a fast paced book, but one that seemed realistic if you can get past time travel caused by a lightening strike.
The central character is an ordinary Joe in TX unexpectedly sent a thousand years into the past. Texas consists of mostly uninhabited plains and wildlife. If he ignores present day development, the guy figures out where and about when he is at and eventually settles on a plan to save his life in a totally different kind of world compared to his prior couch potato life style. He adapts and survives.
I think the author put some thought and research into this book and it shows.
I have a variety of time travel books in my collection. This is one of the better ones. Read it twice now. With a little more time, I look forward to show more reading it again.
If the author wrote more books with the same concept, but different locales, it might make an interesting series. I wonder how he would make the Pacific NW appear long ago? show less

This book was actually very well written. It is easy to read the characters were very distinct and the action went flowed from scene to scene.
