STRANDED IN A DISTANT PAST OF HOPE AND STRIFE

Cruise ship Queen of the Sea has been accidentally transported from the modern-day present to the ancient Mediterranean not long after the death of Alexander the Great. Now Captain Lars Floden and the other Ship People attempt to plant the seeds of twenty-first century civilization in the distant past. Although they have alliances among the locals, upstart heir Cassander is using foul means to claim Macedonia and Greece, brutal general Antigonus One-Eye is doing the same in Mesopotamia, and Pharaoh Ptolemy, the cleverest of them all, is expanding his Egyptian realm to the Red Sea. It’s a strange brew that has a chance to transform history and help humanity avoid centuries of strife. That is, if it doesn't kill everyone first.
