S. M. Stirling
New time travel military adventure from New York Times bestselling novelist S. M. Stirling
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
Everyone could see it coming. But one man could do something about it. Oh, he couldn't avert the nuclear holocaust, but a scientist in Austria, ruthlessly using billions of research dollars for his own purposes, set himself up and out: he created a time machine, and filled a warehouse with low-tech survival gear. Too bad he didn't get to use it himself.
Instead, a team of American grad students, led by their professor, is sent back to the late Roman Empire. Even though they are experts in this time and place, they are about to realize that books and actual experience are very different things.
If they can survive, they hope to remake the world into a better place. But that's a big "if."

1. I like Roman history, I like time travel, and I like that the author did his homework. Three thumbs up! :-)
2. This book is the latest "What if the Romans..." speculation. Our warrior-scholar protagonist and his merry band of grad students are the vehicle by which the author explores his "What if". My humble opinion is that this book raises the bar on "What if the Romans..." stories, but that's just me.
3. What if you were a brilliant scientist? What if you were convinced that the human race would end in nuclear fire? What if the best solution you found is to launch an expedition into the past, alter history, and unite the world centuries ago? With brilliant planning, you put together the supplies, the personnel, and the circumstances needed for this daring expedition. Like Moses, you do not get to enter the promised land. Unlike Moses, you only get a few pages of the story. Fortunately, your personnel spontaneously take up the quest -- and the rest of the story -- instead of just selfishly making themselves masters of ancient Rome.
