Turning the Tide: A Guide for You

New York Times best-selling novelist S.M. Stirling presents a new time travel military adventure.

THE WORLD IS ENDING, AND ONE MAN CAN CHANGE IT ALL

The looming nuclear holocaust was no surprise to anyone. However, a scientist based in Austria had a plan. Utilizing billions of research dollars for his own agenda, he constructed a time machine and stockpiled a warehouse with basic survival equipment. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to use it himself.

Instead, a group of American graduate students, under the guidance of their professor, find themselves transported back to the late Roman Empire. Despite their expertise in this era, they quickly discover that theoretical knowledge and practical experience are not one and the same.

Their ultimate goal is to reshape the world into a better place, if they can survive long enough. But that remains a significant challenge.
