Title: Premise ok; grammar and syntax very bad
Review: I first read S M Stirling's bio on the book cover and really wanted this book to knock my socks off. We both have a Newfie Dad and a British Mom and he seemed well traveled and exposed to many different cultures. I read "Islands in the Sea of Time" and although the premise for the "event" was plausible enough, I thought the story quite redundant in many areas. The grammar and syntax errors drove me crazy, but compulsive as I am to read a book through to the end, I did manage to finish it and checked out the sequel, "Against the Tide of Years" to see if it was edited any better. The errors still continued in the second book, which I was too disappointed to finish reading. As other reviewers have pointed out, maps would have been very handy. The characters were merely interesting, but not dynamic. There really wasn't one character in the book that stood out above the rest, one I could give my heart over to for the duration of the book.
