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 ten 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.

Product ReviewIf you liked Time Spike by Eric Flint or his Ring of Fire series, you'll like this book. My complaint is how he wrote one of the two main female characters as a whiney, liberal, vegetarian, feminist who spends the book being worried that her fellow American time castaways are going to rape her at any moment (with no reason to think so). Happy to have a resolution, unlike Time Spike and less history lessons from the Ring of Fire series.
