Publisher's summary

A struggle for survival in a time long past.

It started as a routine Miami to Charlotte flight for the passengers, crew, and Federal Air Marshal Stephen Mason. But a freak storm over the Atlantic propels the airliner unexplainably back in time to the early 18th century. They find themselves on the sparsely populated coast of the Carolina Colony. Charles Town is the only English settlement of any size in the area. It's an inhospitable place of vast plantations, slavery, hostile natives, tall ships, and marauding pirates.

Finding a way back, if that's even feasible, is the least of their worries. These unintended time travelers quickly find themselves ill-equipped for hardships and dangers not faced for centuries. Perils loom at every turn in this world of loss, anguish, filth, and sweat.

Foreigners in their own land, can they survive and adapt? Is it even possible for these modern transplants to carve an existence from this foul and odorous place in time?

Stephen Mason will find a way or die trying.

Very Enjoyable and Thought Provoking

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast moving with major events taking place at a good pace. Never a dull moment. Interesting historical notes on 18th century America. Good ending with some subtleties you need to pay attention to or they will be missed.

Great Book

Not sure what some of the other reviews are about, while not Shakespeare I really liked this book and the reader did a good job. The story was captivating and easy to follow and the reader made it easy to distinguish between characters. Over all I thoroughly enjoyed all three books in this series and look forward to more stories by this author. I love a good time travel story and this fit the bill.

Goose bumps

Great story and reader. I would have loved it to be 20 hours. Anticipation and goose bumps the last hour and a half. I hope all his other books are like this.

Couldn’t make it through. Neat idea though

The audio production was ok - no glitches or weird sound levels. The voices were too similar to truly identify characters though.

The writing was disappointing on some levels. It’s a fun idea, just wasn’t delivered well. Hopefully the author is seeking editorial help on his other books. This one needs a solid developmental edit and some character building.

Loved it!

The historical accuracy and attention to detail was my favorite part of this book.

The story was likewise compelling and had me wishing my drives were longer to keep listening.
