Once you jump back in time, you can never return. Lincoln Woodhouse knows this, but that doesn’t keep him from trying. After all, who wants to live forever in a brutal land of scimitar-toothed cats and vengeful Neanderthals?
Lincoln, Skyra, and the rest of the team escape by jumping forward 47,000 years. But the present isn’t what it used to be. In this new timeline Neanderthals are not extinct, and the world is at war.
With only enough equipment for two more time jumps, the travelers prepare to jump again before they get caught up in the conflict. Too late—the team is attacked and captured, and soon they find themselves amid an extraordinary society of spider-worshipping Neanderthals.
Lincoln and Skyra, although from two very different worlds, deepen their unusual bond as they become embroiled in a daring plan to launch a revolution. In the midst of turmoil and deceit, they make a new friend—who may embody their future destiny.
Foregone Conflict, the second book in the new Across Horizons series, is for readers who love time travel adventures, strange alien societies, and unforgettable characters.

The present isn't what it used to be!
Foregone Conflict by Stan C Smith continues the story of the Neanderthal girl and the scientists time travelers. They jump back to their time line but life is not what it should be at all! Neanderthals and humans are at war with each other and some prehistoric creatures survived also. Neanderthals didn't die off. There is no advanced civilization. This is their story of trying to survive a brutish life style. -
Review to come soon.

Stan delivers again! Foregone Conflict, the second in Smith’s Across Horizons sci-fi series, will hook you from page one and then plunge you into a time-travel adventure filled with ominous twists. From the very beginning, the fierce and cunning female protagonist, Skyra, boldly attacks another life-changing moment and thrusts the reader into another fast-paced book by Stan C. Smith. Check it out! Wow!

I don’t know how he does it, but he’s done it again!
I cannot get enough of Stan see Smith knew Siri‘s Across Horizons It is so good it’s so interesting and a concept I have never in my life heard of before. Leave it to Stan Smith to make such like a book characters an interesting plot but I think the thing I love most about his writing is there close escapes. I don’t know how he comes up with the fight scenes that is so goodbye the way and did the daring escapes. It is things I would never think of, but I guess that is why he is the author in on the reader and also why I gave the book 5 stars it deserves everyone of them. This is a book I highly recommend I would recommend it among all the books I have read in the past month and probably beyond it is that good! -
What the hell is an Artisan Bakery anyway? Does the Mona Lisa magically appear in the bread crust?
I know. What does the above have to do with this book? Nothing, but sometimes I just like to write down random thoughts. I had a lot of those random thoughts while reading this, because the story wasn't keeping my interest up. The first book wasn't too bad, but the novelty wore off after about 30 pages into this one.
I couldn't have cared less about the characters; in fact I was hoping Lincoln would get squished by a mammoth just so there'd be some drama...any drama...pleeeeease! As for the drone - well it's just useless and bloody annoying.
On the plus side...umm...this book did have an ending. It's just that it was so far from the beginning. -
Foregone Conflict (Across Horizons Book 2) by Stan C. Smith is another winner. It is like no time travel story you've ever read. Smith's world building is amazing. Lincoln and Skyla and their small group are unforgettable, imaginative and intriguing. The original group traveled back in time by 47,000 years in Book 1. In this book, they try to go home. returning to their own time. However, as you know, traveling back in time and interacting there, changes history and changes "the present" a little or perhaps, alot. What they find when they arrive is certainly not what they expected! Oh yes, and Skyla has been added to their group. Skyla is a 20 year old Neanderthal girl from 47,000 years ago.
I was given an ARC of this book by the author and am voluntarily posting an honest review. -
I absolutely LOVED the story, the characters and the whole story line in general. This author is amazing at creating a world and people that draw you into the action. That said, I found the names and sometimes repetition of conversation irritating. I realize that this makes it more believable since the difference in time and language makes it difficult to understand each other. I highly recommend this series to time travel, sci-fi, etc readers because it has bits of it all. I am giving my ( brutally ) honest opinion here and hope I haven't discouraged anyone from reading this wonderful book.

Grand time travel/multiverse adventure continues.
Ah, shite, Stan hits a bit of the old sophomore slump here in book 2 of the series. Same main characters, same stranded in a bum timeline situations, but too much expository info regarding the political/sociological underpinnings of the new world. Not nearly as fascinating and fast-paced as Book 1 and the poorer for it. Still gonna read Book 3, though and hope it picks back up. -
This second installment of Lincoln and Skyras adventure is a very intense story.
I found myself completely gripped from the very first page. It keeps you guessing as to what next awaits Lincoln and his team in this new timeline. The suspense and drama builds steady page by page. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Definitely recommend this story and the series -
Another Exciting Read by Stan C. Smith
I’m glad there was a second book in this Across Horizons series because it gave me a chance to get to know Lincoln and Skyra better. Their interactions with together make me laugh one minute and fear for their lives the next! I’m so looking forward to getting into the third book! I hope to start reading it in just a “breath” or two! -
Wild ride
Another page turner of a wild ride. The stilted language did get a bit annoying in places, but I understand why it was done. Again, this is an easy read with some mind bending time travel concepts. It ends, like the first in the series, Quantum Leap style, with a new beginning that makes you want to read on. -
I enjoyed reading the second book in this series. There is a lot of action and the writing is superb. I was entranced from the first word until the book ended.
I received a complimentary ARC of this book from the author for an objective review. -
Fast-paced, will carry you along and help you forget today's troubles as you navigate a vastly different world! Smith's writing captures the imagination as he blends the natural world with classic adventure and mind-bending fantasy. This is my favorite of his series. Enjoy!
-
Skyra, Lincoln and the rest of the group travel into the future to escape the violence of Skyra’s home land but what they find is a nightmare. They are captured but are they guests or prisoners? Another fast paced ride on the Stan Smith book train! Loved it!
