Best Ebook A Long Time Until Now, by Michael Z. Williamson
Book one in a new series from the creator of the best-selling Freehold Universe series.
A military unit is thrust back into Paleolithic times with only their guns and portable hardware. Ten soldiers on convoy in Afghanistan suddenly find themselves lost in time. Somehow they arrived in Earth's Paleolithic Asia. With no idea how they arrived or how to get back, the shock of the event is severe. They discover groups of the similarly displaced: imperial Romans, Neolithic Europeans, and a small cadre of East Indian peasants.
Despite their technological advantage, the soldiers only have 10 people and know no way home. Then two more time travelers arrive from a future far beyond the present. These time travelers may have the means to get back, but they aren't giving it up. In fact they may have a treacherous agenda of their own, one that may very well lead to the death of the displaced in a harsh and dangerous era.

This is a departure from Mr. Williamson's previous oeuvre. But, it's a delightful one. It's a different kind of story with a different kind of purpose, and left me impressed with his versatility.My background includes graduate work in paleoanthropology so it is usually with some amount of dread that I pick up an alternate timeline novel that deals with pre-agricultural hominids. As you can imagine, errors stick out as particularly glaring when you're as close to the subject as I am.Instead, I walked away impressed that an author who I've enjoyed for his guns, diverse characters, and open views (not to mention his sense of humor if you follow him in social media), had put such attention into the details of the science and archaeology of the relevant ancient time period.I found essentially no errors and an impressive amount of clearly carefully researched detail into everything from stature and life history to local species as well. As if that wasn't enough, he even advanced some novel theories about how early Homo sapiens interacted with the world that I found not only interesting, but eminently plausible.This is an author, already appreciated by many for his storytelling, showing new depths that certainly surprised this reader.I've heard the book described as 'slow'. Slower than his other work perhaps, but about appropriate for the amount of work being done. Not to mention, the pacing echoed the travails of the protagonists and I felt did a nice job of bringing us into their world, which was both full of tedium and danger all at once.The characters were also wonderfully diverse, including men and women from multiple ethnicities, in a way that never felt forced but rather crucial to the story. It all makes sense in the end.In short, this book was prehistoric fiction done right. I can't wait to read the next one.
36 of 37 people found the following review helpful. Believable Time Travel By Amazon Customer The interactions between the various time traveler groups are completely believable, the story is entertaining, and the characters are well developed. The amount of research and knowledge of the various time periods that each of the individual time traveling groups came from is impressive. His portrayal of low tech survival techniques, paired with believable starting tools for the protagonists, is equally impressive, since it manages to avoid breaking the willing suspension of disbelief. You might need a little luck to get all the right skills in one small group, but it would only require a little luck, as opposed to a deus ex machina.In addition, his portrayal of interactions in a small military "unit" cut off from the US rings true (not surprisingly, given the author's own military background), something that many other authors fail to manage.

I got the EARC (Electronic Advance Reader Copy -- see also, "Baen has crack dealers in their Marketing Department") as soon as it came out a few months ago. I scored the hardback a couple of weeks ago, directly from Mike.As other reviewers have said, the pacing is a bit more deliberate than some of Mike's other stuff. I also found the characters a bit tough to track. That said, I did really like this book. I'm keeping track of all my 2015 reads, with a view to next year's Hugo nominations. This has potential.One of the features I really like about MadMike's writing, is that he goes out of his way to know as much as he can about whatever topic he's writing on. Going to the Paleolithic? Let's try a recipe for Caveman Chicken. Going to take an MRAP cross-country? Yes, the durn thing is tippy as hell. This book does not disappoint. I likes me some geek-porn / nerd-porn, I does.It's a much more realistic take on a tried-and-true subject than you usually see. A time trip with finite resources and no resupply is NOT going to be "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court". There will be suckage, but then one cannot triumph without conquering suckage. I never deployed, having spent my whole four years in the post-Vietnam doldrums of Fort Sill. I could still mentally see and feel the scenes in this book, thanks to Mike's descriptions. If you haven't read any Williamson before, try this as an introduction.
