About this listen

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.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Long Time Until Now to be better than the print version?

Dont know , I havent read it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Long Time Until Now?

There were a few of them. But surgery on one of the prehistoric woman. yuck.

Any additional comments?

I did like this. Different. A good mix of charactors. In many ways similar to a doomsday/survivalist senario. If you like them, try this.

Unusual. But I enjoyed it

I really enjoyed this so much that despite its length I listened to it twice. good characters and an unfolding story kept it from getting boring and the narration was excellent. I just might listen to it a third time.

Long but very enjoyable

I love this book. it reminded me of the book Martian. where are you had a group of people that were displaced in this case it was in time. it's fantastically written good characters and I couldn't put it down

This book reminded me of the Martian

plenty of thought and research went into the book but don't expect a gripping yarn full of twists and turns. everything seems to go rather smoothly throughout. great attention to detail and i felt transported to a vibrant world. character development felt a little forced. a good study of group dynamics but a little on the utopic side, military fans, historians and time travel fans will love this one.

interesting but largely uneventful

good story a bit boring in parts, the performance was a bit bland but acceptable.

Wonderful idea
