The Republic has no alternative but to face the inevitable war brought on by one of their own....
Praise for Island In The Sea Of Time:
"...one of the best time/travel alternate history stories I've ever read, period. Stirling combines complex, believable characters, meticulous research, and a fascinating setup to produce a book you won't want to--and won't be able to--put down." --Harry Turtledove, bestselling author of Guns of the South
"...unquestionably Steve Stirling's best work to date, a page-turner that is certain to win the author legions of new readers and fans. I wouldn't be surprised to see it on a few awards ballots either." --George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones
"A well thought-out time travel scenario with a few interesting differences from most books in the genre." --Kliatt
"Stirling has surpassed his previous work in the creation of a compelling cast of characters and does a fine job of conveying both a sense of loss and hope." --Science Fiction Chronicle |
