Against the Tide of Years

by S. M. Stirling Narrated by Todd McLaren

Overview

In the years since the Event, the Republic of Nantucket has done its best to re-create the better ideas of the modern age. But the evils of its time resurface in the person of William Walker, renegade Coast Guard officer, who is busy building an empire for himself based on conquest by technology. When Walker reaches Greece and recruits several of their greater kinglets to his cause, the people of Nantucket have no choice. If they are to save the primitive world from being plunged into bloodshed on a twentieth-century scale, they must defeat Walker at his own game: war.

Editorial Reviews

Peter Heck

Walker is not content merely to create a comfortable lifestyle among the primitive locals. Driven by the desire for revenge on the Islanders, he introduces modern military technology and tactics...[and] sets Agamemnon on a course of conquest...[T]his book doesn't attempt to stand on its own feet; it's aimed almost exclusively at readers who know the first volume.
