First Dawn

As all life on Earth dies from a man made plague, the President of the United States orders Capt Jack Walking Bear and Lt Launa O'Brian (A third year student at West Point 15 minutes before the conversation) to enter an experimental time machine. The two are sent to the Neolithic Peroid to try and reroute history. Their goal is to find another path for society, one that won't end in world destruction. Their mission is to preserve a society that rules through consensus and has never known war, from the Kurgans (the Horse riding warriors of the East European Steppes) as they begin their invasion on the area around the Dunube.I enjoyed the book so much that I immediately bought the squels.

Found this book by accident (son was seatmate of author) and really enjoyed it. The characters are people you are interested in and the evocation of the past world is good. There is motivation in the characters' behavior rather than just chaotic movement. I have not seen anything by him while prowling through bookstores, and I feel this is too bad.

I can't imagine a book being much better, if you like time travel,prehistorical romance, and alternate worlds. I couldn't wait to get the next two books. I did. And now I can't wait for the next two (which I hope the author is writing).

I really enjoyed the book. I found myself getting totally caught up in the story and wondering what would happen to their ( our ) timeline of the world. The characters were interesting and the story never seemed to drag, something was always going on to keep my interest. I cant wait until the next book in the series to find out what else will happen. The story line is also different from anything else I've read, even those books which included time travel. It makes you want to live in the world they create, you wish someone would go back and stop the Kurgans and promote a culture of cooperation, non-competetiveness, and a basic caring about others & the world around us. To show how much I've liked it - I've had First Dawn only a short time and have already read it twice!
