There are very few explosions, guns are prohibited to take back (it is a time period before they were invented), and aliens aren't even mentioned. It is, however, still quite exciting - you just have to give it time. The first 150 pages, approximately, spends time building up to the main action providing the background for the characters, of which there are quite a few. Once the main characters get drawn back in time to look for their mentor, it picks up really fast. I zoomed through it from that point.(less)
