The Macedonian Hazard -- Eric Flint

<b><b>TIME TRAVEL ALTERNATE HISTORY FROM A MASTER. </b>A new tale of time-displaced persons fighting for their lives in the ancient world, from Ring of Fire and Boundary series creator Eric Flint.</b> <p/>It's been more than a year since the cruise ship <i>Queen of the Sea</i> was transported in time and space to the ancient Mediterranean not long after the death of Alexander the Great. <p/> Captain Lars Floden and the other "Ship People" are trying to plant the seeds of modern civilization. It's not an easy task, to put it mildly, even if they have a tacit alliance with the co-regents of Alexander's empire. <p/> For the regents have plenty of enemies, too. Cassander is using every foul means available to turn Macedonia and Greece into his own empire. The brutal general Antigonus One-Eye is doing the same in Mesopotamia. And Ptolemy, the cleverest of them all, is expanding his Egyptian realm to the Red Sea. <p/> Things aren't any easier in the colony that passengers from the cruise ship founded on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. President Allen Wiley is trying to build a twenty-first-century democratic nation. <p/> War, religious strife, assassinations, espionage, poisonings, and other murders--and a fair amount of love, too--all mix together with the Ship People's knowledge from the twenty-first century to form a new weaving of the fates. Hopefully, that will lead to a bright new future. If it doesn't kill everyone first. <p/> <b>About Eric Flint's Ring of Fire Series: </
