Starts off all right, but soon becomes a struggle to finish as the irritating characters do increasingly stupid things and act completely out of character for their time period. Better than the rest of the series though, which degenerates to the old reincarnation through the ages trope. The main chatacter apparently never meets anyone new where ever she travels in time, just the same old people over and over again. To make matters worse they look uncannily alike, even though seperated by hundreds of years. To make matters worse still, the souls of different characters occupy the uncannily alike bodies of one of the other characters (just to make things a bit different)... even though they are not genetically related in any way. I managed to finish them with gritted teeth. How, I am not sure. The series put me off buying new authors unread. ( ) I have read the entire series and very much enjoyed it. I am now reading her new series and look forward to more of her books comming out. For people who don't like the book and write reviews. I would love to know why you don't like it. I love that it's a historical Fantasy about the immortal line of humans. And that a large part is about Australia (I feel that I can relate to it as Im also an aussie). Traci Harding has done a lot of research for her Ancient Future trilogy. Her references to New Age, Theosophy and mythology are quite accurate. However, I have some gripes to go with this. Tory Alexander is very much a Mary Sue character, fluent in obscure languages, awesome at martial arts and incredibly hot to boot. She can't seem to do anything truly wrong. Also, this book could have truly done with some MUCH better editing. The idea to use archaic English forms for speaking another language is inspired, but the use is very inconsistent and often blatantly breaks grammatical agreement for number, case and person. The Ancient Future and its following companion volumes are very fun escapist fiction, but don't expect a great work of literature or deep character studies. Just go with it and smile.

"The white light surrounded her, exuding from the ground within the circle. The mist rose towards the sky to form a billowing cloud. From within the largest stone a ball of blue light steadily made its way towards her. Late one evening, a car accident leaves Tory - daughter of a prominent history professor - stranded near a ring of stones in the English countryside. She resolves to spend the night at the sacred site; a black belt in Tae-kwon-do, Tory holds little fear for her safety. But across the vortex of time and space, she is being watched. The Merlin knows of the legend Tory is to become, and through the wisdom of the Old Ones, teleports her back to the Dark Age. Prince Maelgwn of Gwynedd and his band of knights stumble across this mysterious woman dressd in jeans and leather jacket. Believing she is the witch of the stones, they threaten to kill her. Rising to her own defence, Tory challenges the Prince's champion to unarmed combat. With her superior fighting skill she easily overwhelms the warrior, winning the admiration of the Prince, and changing the course of British history forever." -- Back cover.
