Modern Soldiers and Marines Cast into the Paleolithic!

Michael Z. Williamson’s newest novel, A Long Time Until Now finds a group of modern day soldiers tossed back in time to the Paleolithic era. Which posed some challenges in the writing of the book: What was Paleolithic Central Asia like? What food was available? What kinds of shelters could be built to stave off predators and bad weather? Michael Z. Williamson set out to find out the answer to these and other questions. Here he relates the answers—those he learned from research, those he discovered through experimentation, and those he had no choice but to make up out of his imagination. Find out for yourself and gain insight into life some 15,000 years ago, and into the process one author took to deliver a rip-roaring good SF tale.
