About this audiobook
History will never be the same after a Peterbilt tanker truck full of oil is transported back one thousand years in time. A new novel in Eric Flint's Assiti Shards series by Ring of Fire stalwarts Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett.
Michael and Melanie Anderle are hauling a tanker full of oil with their Peterbilt eighteen-wheeler when they're struck by a temporal irregularity that sends them, the truck, and their daughter back in time a thousand years. The bubble that transports them also grabs a chemist and her two young children, along with half a convenience store in the middle of the United States.
They just want to make a decent life for themselves in this new world of the past, with their Peterbilt and its oil providing a means of transportation, a generator, and shelter. But not all the locals are willing to live and let live, and when the area shamans decide that this community of temporally displaced persons is a threat to their power, the Anderles find out what it's like to take a Peterbilt to war.

Time travel’s not a new premise, but this book takes it to new heights. An OTR trucker, his family, and his rig are transported to the past, along with part of the convenience store they were at and a woman with her two young children. They have practical, survival skills, and Alyssa Jefferson is a chemist; useful one thousand years in the past with locals unsure about whether to befriend or kill them. This is the first book I have read in this series, but it won’t be the last. I loved it!
