Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A trilogy by S.M. Stirling, in which the entire island of Nantucket is sent back in time to the late Bronze Age by a mysterious dome of light. "The Event" also brings along the Eagle, a Coast Guard training vessel—a mixed blessing for Nantucket, for while the ship and its crew prove invaluable in saving the island from starvation, one of the officers, William Walker gathers a band of followers and hijacks a ship for England, where he sets himself up as a warlord among the Indo-European tribes of the area. For obvious reasons, the people of Nantucket are not pleased with this, and the Town Meeting, under the leadership of former police chief Jared Cofflin and Marian Alston, captain of the Eagle, sends a force after him.The first book, Island in the Sea of Time, covers the first couple of years, from the Event up to the Battle of the Downs, where Walker and his local allies meet the expeditionary force from Nantucket and their local allies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The second book, Against the Tide of Years, sees Nantucket facing a threat from Tartessos, a kingdom in Spain that has been rapidly "modernizing" under the rule of one of Walker's friends. Contact is made with the kingdoms of Mycenae and Babylon, and an expedition prepares to follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark.The third book, On the Oceans of Eternity, brings with it the end of the war.There is also a short story, "Blood Wolf", set in the same milieu, but about a generation later.The series is tenuously connected to the Emberverse, which covers what happened in the world Nantucket left behind. | |

Artistic License – Linguistics | |
| Nantucket Trilogy / int_12f078f3 | comment |
Artistic License – Linguistics: Sun People language. Although words themselves are mostly fine, what little grammar we see is more like English than Lithuanian (or PIE reconstructions.) "Diasas," for example, is used to mean both male and female slaves, even though it most probably would've been two distinct words (to match grammatical gender) in an early Indo-European language. | |

| Nantucket Trilogy / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: While not precisely a hero, Isketerol undergoes one of these when he realizes that in the future where Nantucket came from, experts aren't sure his nation even existed. The king of Bablyon undergoes a milder one, assuaged by assurances that Nantucket's advances were only possible with thousands of years more time than the Babylonians had had to work with, and the foundation that Babylon itself helped to build. It's these assurances, diplomatically wielded, that establish Babylon as the first really powerful ancient civilization with which Nantucket is able to forge an alliance. | |

| Nantucket Trilogy / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: Some of the Lisketter group meet their ends this way at the hands of the Mesoamericans, one almost immediately after capture since the Jaguar God followers apparently have a thing for freshly-drained blood. And at one point Alice Hong mentions that she enjoys the taste of "long pig" and "long veal steak" - the implication being that she has killed and eaten children. | |

Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| Nantucket Trilogy / int_28b2f93a | comment |
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: The Republic of Nantucket takes a very dim view of slavery, as shown by the fact that almost all of its major warships are named after Civil War heroes or abolitionists. Given that one of its most prominent citizens is a former slave, this probably shouldn't be surprising. Naturally, the Big Bad, of the series, William Walker, heavily employs slavery in his empire. | |

Schizo Tech: Bronze axes, ultralights with napalm, katanas, breech-loading rifles, wooden frigates, bicycles, an airship... the list goes on. Justified by the time-travel setting. Further justified in that Nantucket's modern tech (and knowledge of it) is limited to what came with them, and after that's gone, used up or needs replacing, what can be obtained or made with bronze-age tech. | |

Anti-Villain: Isketerol, merchant adventurer-turned-king of Tartessos. When the Nantucketers invade Tartessos in the third book, they were undoubtedly expecting to find a totalitarian hellhole like the society Walker has established in Greece; what they find instead is a society which is a perfect example of Fair for Its Day, as Isketerol has made literally revolutionary improvements in all areas of Tartessian society, not just the military, and has put huge outlays of time, effort and money into making life better for the ordinary people. | |

| Nantucket Trilogy / int_e2023325 | comment |
Strawman Political: Pamela Lisketter and her group. Also Too Dumb to Live — it turns out the Followers of the Jaguar God were not interested in their help. | |

The Lightfooted | |
| Nantucket Trilogy / int_e2154617 | comment |
The Lightfooted: Swindapa Alston-Kurlelo is known for being extremely graceful. Fittingly, her name translates to "deer dancer". | |

Wooden Ships and Iron Men | |
| Nantucket Trilogy / int_e95acf73 | comment |
Wooden Ships and Iron Men and Women. Part of the Schizo Tech. Though technically the USCGC Eagle is an iron-hulled barque, Nantucket goes back to its roots and revives the time-honored shipbuilding arts as a response to its relocation. | |

Mighty Whitey: Gleefuly and consciously inverted by Marian Alston at every opportunity. McAndrews tries to do this too, with far less success. | |

| Nantucket Trilogy / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Bronze Age archaeology has enough competing theories that it would be impossible to be accurate to all of them, but the series is nonetheless impressive in this regard. | |
