Story
Twice before, mysterious cosmic catastrophes have sent portions of the Earth across space and back in time - first, with the Grantville Disaster in West Virginia, and then again with a maximum security prison in southern Illinois. Now, the planet is struck with yet another such cataclysm, whose direct impact falls upon the Queen of the Sea, a cruise ship in the Caribbean. When the convulsions subside, the crew and passengers of the ship discover that they have arrived in a new and frightening world. They are in the Mediterranean now, not the Caribbean.

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 wall just didn’t look right. Alex has been trying to cope. Life after his deployment had been rough. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter. She was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

Publisher's Summary
The Deadliest Predators of Three Separate Eons
Captain Andy Blacklock was overseeing the change of shifts at the state of Illinois' maximum-security prison when the world outside was suddenly ripped apart. They thought it was an earthquake until they found that the Mississippi River had disappeared, along with all signs of civilization. Then the sun came up - in the wrong direction. And a dinosaur came by and scratched its hide against the wall of the prison....
Something had thrown the prison back in time millions of years. And they were not alone. Other humans from periods centuries, even millennia, apart had also been dropped into the same time. Including a band of murderous conquistadores. But the prison had its own large population of murderers. They couldn't be turned loose, but what else could be done with them?
Death walked outside the walls, human savagery was planning to break loose inside, and Stephens and the other men and women of the prison's staff were trapped in the middle.

A Great Idea but a Terrible Book
I finished this book. It entertained me while I was painting the master bedroom. The Plot: A maximum security prison is sent back in time to the age of the dinosaurs. The whole prison with all the prisoners guards and staff. What you get: A sanitized, nerdy, and juvenilely rendered book more concerned about what Spielberg called Raptors then the interactions of hundreds of starving convicted felons and their over worked guards. My opinion: A couple more big carnivores like the ones on the book cover could have saved this book. Is this a young adult book? With the premise of the story one would think not. I still don't know but I am beginning to wonder about books where Eric Flint as an editor. Regardless, this book was just barely competent enough for me to not return. It did leave me shaking my head and feeling cheated. If this IS a Young Adult Book why is it for sale in the Grown-up section with no warning for whom it is intended? If it isn't, perhaps it could be edited a bit and re-published in that genre instead.

Enjoyed it
For a few years I've been reading the Ring of Fire books; I really enjoy the concept and the stories that come with it. There were really only two things about this book. First, the dinosaurs didn't get enough face time; there was too much talking about seeing dinos running around and not enough seeing them run around. For example, their first closeup encounter with a dino was when one scratched itself against the prison wall, but the only reason I knew that was because the characters talked about it days after the fact; there needed to be more danger, more wonder, more presence involving the wildlife. The same goes for the Spanish; they just weren't present enough, except to establish that they were the bad guys in a side story. If Andy and Co. had had to fight a two front war against the convicts and the Spanish, the creativity needed to do so would’ve made the story way more interesting.

This story could not hold my interest.
The narration was ok but there were so many confusing story parts that it just could not hold my interest. I attacked the story of several occasions but found that I could not keep the story going. The other reviews gave me enough to try the book but the story just did not work for me. Returned.

Poor
A wonderful premise, but an ugly, messy, poorly-written book. What the hell was the point of the modern-day "Project" plotline, which went nowhere and did nothing? How are we supposed to root for the "good guys" when they've turned into hypocritical cold-blooded murderers halfway through the book? Why does every male/female pair fall in love with each other? How are we supposed to believe the stupidity of the people running the prison when they give an openly rebellious guard the keys to the entire prison and a solo patrol route? What's with Boomer's half-assed characterization and badly-attempted written dialect? How cheap is it that the "good guys" get to have their cake and eat it too when the bad guys take over the prison and kill almost all the potentially troublesome prisoners?
