Skyra, Lincoln, and their companions have made their last time jump and are stuck 47,000 years in the past. For Skyra, it’s home. For Lincoln and his team, it’s fraught with menace—a land of claws, teeth, and stone weapons.
Just surviving here is hard enough, but the group now must deal with the consequences of binary existence—two copies of the same person coexisting in the same timeline.
For Skyra, coexisting with a copy of herself becomes a struggle to hold on to her own identity and personal worth. She has returned to her homeland to save her sister Veenah, only to find that her other self has already rescued Veenah and does not want Skyra around.
As the group strives to establish a permanent home, Skyra’s personal dilemma gives way to a much greater challenge. Is perpetual war or extinction unavoidable, or can this ragtag team of humans and Neanderthals somehow usher in a better future for an entire world?
Binary Existence, the fourth and final book in the Across Horizons series, is for readers who love time travel adventures, mind-bending surprises, and unforgettable characters.

Stan C. Smith is one of my favorite authors, especially when it comes to unique versions of time travel. So, the fact that Binary Existence was the fourth (and last) book in his Across Horizons series held a lot of weight for me. I was intrigued to see how Smith would wrap up the story of Skyra and Lincoln. In book three, they had used their very last time-jump to travel back from a futuristic world filled with gleaming skyscrapers to Skyra’s neanderthal time. The characters of Binary Existence are great, but in this installment, things become complicated when two copies of the same person coexist. Combine this with the challenge of bringing two warring factions together in the hopes of changing the future of the world, and you have a can’t miss book. Should you read this series? If you like an addictive plot with fast action, and if you like unforgettable characters with a bit of romance mixed in with your science fiction, then, yes, this series is for you.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this ans others of Stan Smith’s collection of excellent series. Always imaginative, with well-developed characters I cared about, each novel has masterfully built worlds, thought-provoking science and story lines I can’t put down. To paraphrase what Picasso said when asked which was his favorite painting, each of Stan’s novels I read is the best. Certainly Binary Existence, with its wonderful Epilogue, left me happy and satisfied. Bravo again!

Wow another great book in this series! Two Skyra’s in the same timeline can be a dangerous combination. In this fourth book in the series we follow the group as they try to merge their “clan” with other bullop and nandup clans in the hopes of creating a stronger society. Interesting, original, and twisted.

OMG I can't get enough of Stan C. Smith's writing. His fabulous imagination gives us the conclusion to this series and it's even better than Books 1, 2 and 3.. and they were all worth at least 5☆. The story is gripping and flows beautifully, drawing together for an inspired ending. As usual I was so involved with the characters I stayed up reading most of the night.

Binary Existence (Across Horizons, #4) by Stan C. Smith finishes the series in a satisfying way. As good as the 3 books leading up to #4 and the back story. Loved this imaginative series.
Not sure if I was given this book by the author or got it otherwise. However, I am voluntarily posting an honest review. -
This series is amazing! I was so caught up in these stories that I did what I rarely ever do, which is to read them through breakfast and lunch. The writing moves along, with unexpected plots twists and turns that keep you wanting to read more. As with the best science fiction, the ideas are fresh and very interesting.

Such a great story idea!
Just finished Across Horizons series and absolutely LOVED this amazing story! If I wasn’t already post menopausal, I’d name my kids Lincoln and Skyra 😉 Loved ALL the characters though and just wanted to report how much I thoroughly enjoyed everything! Will definitely be reading this author again! -
Excellent
I loved this one because of all the cool characters and personalities which includes the robots Maddy and Ripple. It left me with much hope for the future. I inhaled it just like the other books in the series.
