A Long Time Until Now

By: Michael Z. Williamson

Narrated by: Dennis Holland

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.

Interesting but unsatisfying

This book holds great promise but I feel like there should be a second book there is so much left I unanswered. Not a fan of how the author kept harping on the feminist in this book. My guess is he really hates feminism and vegetarians. Not a fan of how he made the Christian guy sound super intellectually challenged. Had the beginnings of great ideas with this book but little follow through. Like spoiler alert——in the future even showers and tools like shovels can read your mind but somehow the photographer “snuck” memory cards back to the present day without them noticing that she kept thinking about how to do that while in the future.

Entertaining, funny, especially for prior military

This book was alright, it was an interesting idea for sure. It wasn't an
Exciting page turner, but it was still pretty good. The middle was a little slow and too much detail for things that weren't that interesting. I'm prior military (female) and so much of that part of the story was on point. Overall I liked the story and the idea behind it. Not a bad listen/read.

A really good yarn!

The first book I've listened to by this author. I like a well told lloonnnggg story. An unusual story but believably understated. Well worth a listen and using a credit! :)

Slow and a missed opportunity...

Overall this is a reasonable listen but having set up a great idea the story is just... well... slow and boring. Not worth the listen really...

Interesting Story, but I want more Freehold

Sorry Mr Williamson, I think this is an awesome opener for a new series but I'd rather listen to more Freehold universe stories...unless of course you cross the two. Food for thought.
