Story
During a perfect spring evening on Nantucket, a violent storm erupts and a dome of crawling, colored fire blankets the island. When the howling winds subside and the night skies clear, the stars appear to have shifted. The mainland has become a wilderness of unbroken forest, where tools of bronze and stone litter the beaches, and primitive natives scatter in terror.

Story
In the thousand-sun network of humanity's expansion, new colony worlds are struggling to find their way. Every new planet lives on a knife-edge between collapse and wonder, and the crew of the aging gunship, Rocinante, have their hands more than full keeping the fragile peace. In the vast space between Earth and Jupiter, the inner planets and the Belt have formed a tentative and uncertain alliance still haunted by a history of wars and prejudices.

Michael Harmon has been there and done that. Rescued co-eds, killed major terrorists, stopped nuclear assaults. Now he'd just like to kick back and relax with his harem of lovelies. Unfortunately, the world keeps turning. Mike and the Keldara are back tracking down terrorists, rogue Russian bio-scientists and the doomsday weapon to end all doomsday weapons. It's going to take some very tough, hard and nasty people to stop the end of the world. Fortunately, there's Mike Harmon.

Loved everything, my only complaint is: a lack of pause between sections in the same chapter.

Great Story... WHO got picked to read it?
What did you love best about Against the Tide of Years?
2/3 of the way through the book. So far, pretty engrossed in this trilogy. Very intriguing and attention holding.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The blacksmith that was kidnapped. What do ya do?! Realistic.
What didn’t you like about Todd McLaren’s performance?
Todd... if the book is rather military, you need to know military pronunciation! Corpsman is pronounced 'COR'man'.... not 'CORPSman'. And the 'Mogollon Rim' is the 'MOH'ghi-ahn' Rim.
OH! And that 'Asian' concept of 'indebtedness'... is 'GIRI'... like 'GHI-ri'... not 'JIRI'.
Sorry pal... but you took the job to read this kind of story - need to get it right. Your voice grates on my ears now!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The whole story is moving. Many different facets developing simultaneously.
Any additional comments?
Nah.

great storytelling but needs an editor
these are all gripping stories. My only complaint is that some judicious editing would keep the action going - I do sometimes tune out under the weight of all of the lovingly detailed descriptions. still well worth a listen, though!

Amazing Series for an Apocalyptic Nut
SM Stirling keeps you on the edge with baited breath rooting for the good guys of Nantucket and loathing William Walker and Alice Hoang.
Todd McLaren does a masterful job of narrating this story and the Emberverse story line (Dies The Fire).
After listening to all 3 books in this series (each at least 5 times), I would love to see it continued with Alston and Swindapa’s daughters, Coughlin and Martha’s children and Walker’s spawn.

One of the best alt-history books ever.
This series is superb. If you like "Yankee in King Arthur's Court" style time travel, this is prime material.

decent
I've read a lot of SM Stirling. If you like alternative history, you'll like this. He does a better job of sticking to the story arc than he does in the Emberverse series.

exactly as when I read it
against the tide of years with a wonderful read with exceptional storytelling and a wonderful narration. it conveys a rich and vibrant history full of nuances and cliches that are all together not unwelcome. the character development of both the Nantucket arc and the Walker Kingdom both flourish however the Walker Kingdom is sort of neglected during the second part of the book I wish that it had been more fleshed out but all in all a very very good listen and an even better read. be warned once you start listening if this is your cup of tea you won't be able to put it back down again not until you've listened to all three. can't wait to start the very last one.
