Babylon

30,000 B.C. Chronicles #7

by Matthew Thayer

Reunite with characters you love, or fall for them for the first time, as Babylon rocks the Cradle of Civilization. Book Seven in the 30,000 B.C. Chronicles series puts flesh on the prehistory of Mesopotamia, long an incubator for mankind's inventiveness, artistic brilliance and penchant for trouble. Experience the tumult of the Fertile Crescent as it was in the wild Paleolithic. Stirring homage is also paid to the Bronze Age and its revolutionary advances. Award-winner Matthew Thayer deftly weaves engaging characters, vivid descriptors and thoughtful plot into a time-bending epic. Babylon slips readers inside the lives of time travelers shipwrecked in the Stone Age. Four decades after first being marooned on the coast of Bordeaux, the explorers find themselves shipwrecked again, this time in the Arabian Sea. Can the wily survivors use the tricks they have learned to see them through their most-deadly challenge yet? Other books in the 30,000 B.C. Chronicles series Bordeaux, Tuscany, Gibraltar, Galway, Rome and New York .

I have absolutely no idea how I originally came across these books, I think someone recommended the first one on reddit under a time travel thread and I picked it up. Have loved following these characters through some, at times completely unbelievable but still very enjoyable plot points. A great mix of crazy, funny, reflective and just a great story. I hope there will be another.

A treat of world travel into the past.

I’ve truly enjoyed this series. While written with a different style and switching from one timeline to another, it is a great insight into what could have been factual if there were journalists present to record 😋

Emotionally satisfying

Not to say it's the conclusion, at least I hope. I want to read more about our 3 protagonists throughout the eras that would be fun as hell. But also I feel like Paul, Jones, and Gray Beard are still owed a proper send off.
