The Macedonian Hazard

A Ring of Fire Novel

By: Eric Flint, Gorg Huff, Paula Goodlett

Narrated by: P.J. Ochlan

It's been more than a year since the cruise ship Queen of the Sea was transported in time and space to the ancient Mediterranean not long after the death of Alexander the Great.

Captain Lars Floden and the other "Ship People" are trying to plant the seeds of modern civilization. It's not an easy task, to put it mildly.

For they have plenty of enemies, too. Cassander is using every foul means available to turn Macedonia and Greece into his own empire. The brutal general Antigonus One-Eye is doing the same in Mesopotamia. And Ptolemy, the cleverest of them all, is expanding his Egyptian realm to the Red Sea.

Things aren't any easier in the colony that passengers from the cruise ship founded on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. President Allen Wiley is trying to build a 21st-century democratic nation, but the people he has to work with aren't the most suitable for the task.

War, religious strife, assassinations, espionage, poisonings, and other murders - and a fair amount of love, too - all mix together with the Ship People's knowledge from the 21st century to form a new weaving of the fates. Hopefully, that will lead to a bright new future. If it doesn't kill everyone first.

Excellent historical analysis

The story and the analysis of what changes to history would be possible in the event of 21st century knowledge being transferred to the time of Alexander. My only gripe is the story ends in a void that doesn’t seem to be filled with more books.

the story

the AI voice was good, but I really prefere a real person doing the narration.

Great Fun

This audio book is an outstanding addition to the series. The performance is very satisfactory. This story is enjoyable.

loved this one

I love this one more than the first and can't wait for part three of the series to be released.

Grand Scope

I really really enjoy reading, listening to, watching, isekai stories to the point where it’s all I consume.
