Written in Time
by Jerry and Sharon Ahern

As a freelance writer, Jack Naile was used to getting an occasional letter from one of his readers, but when one of those readers sent him a clipping from a magazine, it would not only change his life, but could alter the course of history as well. The clipping had a photo, taken in Nevada in 1903, of a street scene, including a story with a sign, “Jack Naile—General Merchandise.”

Intrigued, Jack phoned the Nevada town’s historian and asked for more information. When the historian sent him a photo of the 19th century Jack Naile, what had seemed like an interesting coincidence immediately became much more bizarre. The four people in the photo, dressed in the style of the time, were unmistakably Jack, his wife, their grown son and teenage daughter. Jack decided he would have to take a trip to that town to investigate further. And if he and his family were somehow going to travel back in time, he was going to be prepared—and be well-armed.

I am a fan of Jerry Ahern, I own almost the entire Survivilist series, I think the Aherns made a good effort with this story. I enjoyed it and will probily reread it again. Good work.

2. Mike on 2/2/2011, said:

Great plot line, somewhat tedious execution. Really enjoyed the gun scenes, they were written with the style of someone who knows what they are talking about. Even as a right-wing nut-job, I found some of the political material over the top.

3. Charlie on 12/23/2010, said:

Gun porn and political diatribe. And not very good diatribe. Overall quite disappointed. It was a good idea, but execution was painful. Won't be buying another one from them.

I thought it was OK, but I definitely got tired of the authors' fetishizing the smoking and guns.

I'm going to come out and say it: Great idea, horrible execution. After the very beginning, the story is fine when the characters aren't talking or when there's no action going on. Unfortunately, the second half of the book is mostly talking and action, and things get particularly bad as both can be randomly interrupted with detailed descriptions of weaponry and weapon usage habits. If I wanted that much gun info, I'd pick up a gun mag. That's the best that can be said about it. Exit question: Did they need to include how the family are wavers, and what specific methods they use to wave at departing family members?

Short version: It's no "1632". It was an interesting but sometimes painful read. The authors indulged themselves in too many cliche scenes straight out of a 50's western movie.(This was somewhat the point, but I don't think they pulled it off well). The dialogue felt forced at times. I found the "gun porn" parts interesting and some of the best writing in the novel. You can tell that the authors write in that field. They did go a little overboard with it though. The political stuff was slightly over the top for me and I'm a Republican myself, I can imagine a left wing Democrat frothing at the mouth.

Really enjoyed the historical detail, especially because I live in Arizona close enough to where it is set.

It's basically Republican gun porn. There were a few interesting plot twists and i read to the end to find out what happened, but there were pages and pages of weaponry description that i skimmed. The prose and the sensibility were absolutely painful. Sorry, but ouch. Disappointed to find something so poorly written and edited in the same Baen catalog as such great writers as Bujold and Lee & Miller.
