Not a fast paced book, but one that seemed realistic if you can get past time travel caused by a lightening strike.
The central character is an ordinary Joe in TX unexpectedly sent a thousand years into the past. Texas consists of mostly uninhabited plains and wildlife. If he ignores present day development, the guy figures out where and about when he is at and eventually settles on a plan to save his life in a totally different kind of world compared to his prior couch potato life style. He adapts and survives.
I think the author put some thought and research into this book and it shows.
I have a variety of time travel books in my collection. This is one of the better ones. Read it twice now. With a little more time, I look forward to reading it again.
If the author wrote more books with the same concept, but different locales, it might make an interesting series. I wonder how he would make the Pacific NW appear long ago?… (mehr)
