Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 35
Paul McAllister, an aging military retiree, wants nothing more at this point in his life than to put the wars, cancer, and death of his wife behind him as he numbly glides into his final years doing the only thing he still enjoys – selling weapons and his services as a gunsmith on the gun show circuit of the American southwest. Driving down the road in the Mesilla Valley of southern New Mexico, sandwiched in the few hundred yards between the Robledo Mountains to the West and the Rio Grande to the East, Paul loses consciousness while returning home from a gun show.

Well, another author that I am one and done with.
I’ll give him 3 stars on story idea and then 1 start for everything else.
I had high hopes for the book when I started but as soon as the author started giving us all the background of the main character as a list of accomplishments during a dream, I knew it would be hard to finish the book.
The worst part is the complete lack of character development. There is Zero, Zilch, None for the main love interest. Here is what we know about her. Her parents are dead, she has read Don Quote and she works in her adopted parents’ restaurant and has a great smile, that’s it.
The characters all think and act with 20th century values and concepts not realistic.
Most books of this genre send someone back in time with just their knowledge (ok maybe not Harry Turtledove). Our main character is sent back with an RV and a trailer with enough modern weapons for an army every type of tool that he will need and everything he needs to charge its batteries with either solar or water. Oh and of course this info is given to us in a list. I think the author went back and revised the list as he discovered something the main character might need.
No idea why this book was getting 4 and 5 stars on Goodreads. One reader even said, “The plot twists and turns to keep the reader from putting it down” SPOILER ALERT – There are no plot twist or turns, its is extremely straight forward and repetitive. My advice is to skip this author and if you want a good alternate history book read Destiny’s Crucible series by Olan Thorensen.

For Mark Caldwell, an unsatisfying life was about to take a turn both terrifying and exhilarating as his fate took an unimaginable turn. When Mark took his aisle seat aboard United flight 4382, he was ignorant of three facts. The fellow passenger in the window seat was named Joseph Colsco. Neither of them would ever set foot on Earth again. They both would be cast naked on an alien planet.

This is not Unabridged
Revisado: 03-22-17
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Please do not list a book as unabridged if it is not complete. This audiobook is missing the Epilogue that is in the kindle book.
Any additional comments?
This is an abridged book, it does not have the Epilogue and should be listed as such!
