Books with: Time displacement, people going about their day being unexpectedly swept to another time, the farther back, the better. Adult or older YA. Sci-fi, not romance-focused. Fantasy elements okay, but preferably not magic.

I am looking for novels about people who are unexpectedly displaced through time, the farther back, the better. Both A Long Time Until Now by Michael Z Williamson and Time Spike by Eric Flint and Marilyn Kosmatka left me wanting more.
Both were military or paramilitary, hard sci-fi, survival tales, with casts of co-workers learning about each others' (and their own) abilities and talents as well as weaknesses.
Not focused on romance, but...

Beth, please put a more general description in the header/ topic title. Assume most people are not familiar with these specific titles and authors. You can copy and paste from what you've already written. (For example: Adult Sci Fi. People who are unexpectedly displaced through time, hard sci fi, military, not romance, etc...)

Thank you. I have edited the topic line.
Mostly, the focus should be the coming to terms with an unimaginable, inescapable situation using only what they had on them, what they knew or studied, or what they find, surviving unknowns.

I might suggest the Island in the Sea of Time by S.M. Stirling. It is the first in a trilogy in which Nantucket is thrown back to the early bronze age. Similar in concept to the Ring of Fire series concept by Eric Flint. Definitely military and hard core survival.

These were actually the 'prequel' books to the Dies the Fire series by the same author.

Thank you. I will check those out. 😀

You might enjoy The Cross-Time Engineer and its sequels by Leo Frankowski, but you need to be comfortable with a high level of misogyny.

Thank you. I will look into these. If the writing is good, the misogyny might not be distracting.
