HISTORY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER A PETERBILT TANKER TRUCK FULL OF OIL IS TRANSPORTED BACK ONE THOUSAND YEARS IN TIME. A 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.

A new tale of time-displaced individuals fighting for survival in the ancient Mediterranean unfolds after the cruise ship Queen of the Sea is transported to the era following Alexander the Great's death. Captain Lars Floden and the "Ship People" strive to establish modern civilization, facing significant challenges despite a tacit alliance with Alexander's co-regents, his widow Roxane and Eurydice, his half-brother's wife. They contend with formidable adversaries, including Cassander, who seeks to claim Macedonia and Greece for himself, the ruthless general Antigonus One-Eye in Mesopotamia, and the cunning Ptolemy, who is expanding his Egyptian territory to the Red Sea. Meanwhile, on the Caribbean island of Trinidad, President Allen Wiley attempts to build a democratic nation amid a diverse and challenging population that includes future residents, local tribesmen, and third-century BCE immigrants. The narrative is rich with conflict—war, religious strife, assassinations, espionage, and love—intertwined with the Ship People's 21st-century knowledge, all aiming to forge a new destiny. The outcome remains uncertain, as they strive for a brighter future while navigating the dangers that threaten to destroy them.
