About this listen

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.

Decent story, but super apathetic and casual

characters are way too nonchalant about their circumstances, ruined the vibe for me. Ended up listening to most of the book while researching another book to read. Everytime I tuned back in, I realized I didn't miss anything significant

A Must Hear.

This was one of my favorites so far. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Loved the history mixed in with the story. Hope to find more like this. Great narrating as well.

Great story

This isn't my usual genre but found it to be an engaging story. However, I do feel the story was rushed. Things seemed to progress unnaturally. I feel like there could have been, at least, four or more hours as the author could have developed characters and expanded the plot to fill in the many holes. But the overall premise was good and I felt the ending was wrapped satisfactorily, if not unrealistically. Narration was pretty good. If Mr. Zugg were to expand this story in the future, I would re-listen.

Very predictable and a little bit boring.

This book was kind of boring honestly after a while I got to wondering why I was even listening to it what's the point of the story. If it's free it's fine if you're paying for it I would skip it.

Simple story, yet...

Mind-blowing story with surreal emotional touches, The narrator does a remarkably good job to keep your attention till the end.

History and Sci-fi don’t perfectly

Great listen and lots of plot twists plus I actually learned something about American history. Well worth your time.
