Customer Reviews

A trip worth taking!

"The Wings of Time" is a most interesting look at the culture and history of ancient Greece through the eyes of three men from the 21st Century who have traveled back in time. Because the trip was planned in advance, the men arrive with a knowledge of the language and important historical events about to unfold around them. Like the movie of "The Titanic", the reader is able to experience actual events, including meeting Socrates and the great Persian King Xerxes, through the eyes of amiable fictional characters; a very entertaining way to gain some historical insights! The book ends with a most likely opening for a sequel...hopefully Mr. Marmar will "write on"!

A Must Read

"The Wings of Time" is a great read! For the history buff - Mr. Marmar's astonishing depth of historical knowledge and his ability to wrap his modern characters into the fabric of Ancient Greece make for an entertaining tale.Sci-fi fans will love his handling of the paradox of time travel. This book definitely has something for everyone.

Ancient History buffs will love it.

Ancient history buffs will enjoy the description of the events that have been personalized in such a clever manner. Classic historic characters literally "come to life" in this story. The plot is well designed, and I, for one, am eager to see what adventures await the next generation. I look forward to the sequel

The Wings of Time

A WONDERFUL NOVEL. A GREAT FICTIONAL READ AND YET AN ACCURATE DEPICTION HISTORICALLY OF THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ANCIENT GREECE DURING THE 500 BC ERA. ONCE YOU START THE BOOK ITS HARD TO PUT DOWN.

a terrific read

This is an exciting blend of science fiction, fantasy, ancient history, a good study of customs and passions of a bygone age that begs comparison with our own values in modern times. Once picked up the book is hard to put down. If you can say that about any book it's time you read it.The characters are a neat blend of modern attitudes with a newly found respect for ancient society. Any one who enjoys TV's "The X Files", adventure stories, mystery and intrigue, and fantasy should find this a great read.I recommend it. Just Read It.
