  <default_description>During a perfect spring evening on Nantucket a violent storm erupts and a dome of crawling colored fire blankets the island. When the howling winds subside and the night skies clear, the stars appear to have shifted. The mainland has become a wilderness of unbroken forest, where tools of bronze and stone litter the beaches, and primitive natives scatter in terror.

A startling phenonomenon has occurred; The island of Nantucket has been swept into the long-ago past. With its inhabitants adrift in the year 1250 B.C., there is only one question to be answered: Can they survive?

A provocative and endlessly inventive spin on the classic adventure story, Island in the Sea of Time takes you on a journey of wonder, discovery, and imagination.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The Island of Nantucket - including a large Coast Guard cutter - gets sent back in time to ~2000 or more BC.  Bad guys on the island attempt to start their own empire.  Havoc ensues.<br/><br/>The entire 4-book series is very cheesy but a lot of fun if you like the 'Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40933994">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Holy crap! Nantucket has been transported back to 1250 B.C.! Can the canny folks survive? Lucky they have the Coast Guard's Eagle and Marian, its captain. The book jacket blurbs mention the impeccable historical research, but I'm not buying it. Still, a fun read that coasts from problem to problem, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40350798">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting initial novel in a series -- what would happen if an island from the 20th century were transported back in time a few thousand years?  Some nice thinking about possible reactions and consequences, though certain problems are glossed over a bit too easily (e.g. at one point the town gover...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47440185">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Very interesting premise. Great idea and the interpersonal and inter-group conflicts seemed well fleshed out. I liked the flow of the story and while there wasn't enough character development for my liking it was still a very good book.

    <body><![CDATA[I just finished reading the entire &quot;Island&quot; trilogy, but I'll try and limit this to what I remember from Book 1.  Island in the Sea of Time is an alternate history/time travel novel, set on the island of Nantucket in 1997.   During a paranormal event the island is thrust back in time to 12...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11996622">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While I loved Stirling's series about what happened at this same time around the rest of the world, I just could not get into this.  I didn't find the characters as immediately approachable, and while it wasn't lacking in drama, it didn't feel as close.  <br/><br/>Not too bad, but I had to work to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48099625">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not a bad time-travel book, definately hooked me from the beginning.  The author sacrificed plausibility for advancing the storyline. But once you suspend disbelief it is a very enjoyable book. If you liked this you will probably love Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus by Orson Scott ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62304228">more...</a>]]></body>
