Perhaps now they never will be.Stanton knows that a great and terrible war is coming.

Don't Mess With Yesterday!

Very uneven book.
Reviewed: 09-21-24
The performance was the best part of this uneven novel. The plot ok but executed in a mediocre manner. It was sometimes a very painful listen. It lacked Jodi Taylor’s wit. Its protagonist was unlikable and foolish. Only morbid curiosity about how the author wind up the plot kept me listening.

Story
In this span between armistice and depression, Americans were kicking up their heels, but they were also bringing about major changes in the social and political structure of their country. Only Yesterday is a fond, witty, penetrating biography of this restless decade, a delightful reminiscence for those who can remember and a fascinating firsthand look for those who've only heard.

It's 1720, Charles Town, Carolina Colony, a time and place fraught with hardships and hazards. Carving out a life here will be challenging, especially for these modern-day transplants.

I give Mr Zugg full credit for a excellent story idea. Unfortunately, his writing is just painful. He would have done better collaborating with a professional writer.

Story
A huge swath of Americans have put their faith in Trump, and Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that doesn't have a place for them. If they would risk their lives for Trump in a pandemic, they will certainly risk the stability of American democracy. They brought the Trumpocalypse upon the country, and a post-Trumpocalypse country will have to find a way either to reconcile them to democracy - or to protect democracy from them.

Trumpocalypse is incisive, logical and entertaining. The book does a great job of explaining how we get out of this mess. Without being insulting to the average Trump voter.

Story
In 88 BC, it seems as if the entire ancient world is at war. In the west, the Italian states are rebelling against Rome; in the east, Mithridates is marching through and conquering the Roman Asian provinces. Even in the relatively calm Alexandria, a coup has brought a new pharaoh to power and chaos to the streets. The young Gordianus is waiting out the chaos in Alexandria with Bethesda when he gets a cryptic message from his former tutor and friend, Antipater.
