A Ripple in Time

A Historical Novel of Survival

By: Victor Zugg

Narrated by: Sean William Doyle

A struggle for survival in a time long past.

It started as a routine Miami to Charlotte flight for the passengers, crew, and Federal Air Marshal Stephen Mason. But a freak storm over the Atlantic propels the airliner unexplainably back in time to the early 18th century. They find themselves on the sparsely populated coast of the Carolina Colony. Charles Town is the only English settlement of any size in the area. It's an inhospitable place of vast plantations, slavery, hostile natives, tall ships, and marauding pirates.

Finding a way back, if that's even feasible, is the least of their worries. These unintended time travelers quickly find themselves ill-equipped for hardships and dangers not faced for centuries. Perils loom at every turn in this world of loss, anguish, filth, and sweat.

Foreigners in their own land, can they survive and adapt? Is it even possible for these modern transplants to carve an existence from this foul and odorous place in time?

Stephen Mason will find a way or die trying.

Ack

i cannot stop thinking about this book in a bad way. It feels like a historian's first crack at fiction after reading a lot of Patterson. It's the television show Lost taking place in colonial America, but the stakes are low, the characters are dull, and up until a point the novel is very PG, until there is a completely undeserved, awkward, excessively graphic happening that completely icked me out of finishing the book. I'm sure the ending is good as a lot of reviews say, but I simply cannot subject myself to it any longer.

kudos to the narrator for getting through the narration without retching.

Wild historical ride

I really only get into science fiction and fantasy novels but this well told story leaves me wondering if historical books may be in my future. This is a great stand alone!!! Buyer beware!! If you get hooked you will just end up buying the 3 book set as I did after hearing the 1st.

I thought it was a pretty great book. I got the first one for free through Audible. I
Bought the next two books in the series. The characters are likable and interesting. The history and the characters adaptation makes it more even more interesting.

Entertaining

I enjoyed this book and the voice of the narrator. This is the first book I’ve listened to in a while that was fiction. I truly enjoyed the book.

Good book. Entertaining enough to buy

Not really a science fiction, they simply accidentally time travel and then try to survive. Not a fantastic book but much better than the terrible books I have been trudging through lately that are filled with dialog and very little plot or drama. This book has very little dialog, instead it has a plot, drama, and is easy to follow., just nothing unusual or new, but entertaining. Worth the read.
