Banished from her tribe, Skyra Una-Loto wanders through an ancient landscape teeming with fierce predators. Skyra searches for a way to overcome the crippling fear that has plagued her since witnessing her birthmother’s brutal death.
The problem is, to overcome her fear and reclaim her strength, she must attack and kill predators that will probably kill her first.
Skyra’s desperate quest takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a creature unlike anything she has seen before. It walks on four legs, yet it can also fly. It eats fire instead of flesh, and it speaks a strange language called English. Its name is Ripple.
Ripple cannot believe its good luck. Having jumped 47,000 years into the past, the robotic drone has completed its research mission and is stranded here forever. Now it has found a living, breathing Neanderthal to study. The more Ripple learns about Skyra, the more the drone is convinced she is important to the future of this new world—but only if Ripple can keep her alive.

A Pleasure Throughout!
This book has been on my reading list for several months, now. I have planned to read it several times, but for some reason I kept putting it off.
So sorry about that.
This book is a wonderful thing! A story of a Neanderthal girl, about eighteen years old, living in Spain around 48 thousand years ago.
An AI (robotic drone) from present day USA, is sent into the past to gather data. It has been programmed for interaction between itself and the people in the past.
While gathering data, Ripple, the drone, encounters Skyra, said teenager, and they grudgingly become friends. The grudge is on her part.
They experience numerous adventures and many dangers together. It was a dangerous time (much like today).
Their shared adventures bring them together and help them find a common ground.
This book is very fascinating. The pace moves right along. The book is definitely worth the money paid and the time to read.
I only wish I read this book sooner. -
Prequel to the series, Genesis Sequence by Stan C. Smith provides the backstory for the Across Horizons series more than 40,000 years before the beginning of book 1. It is fabulous series with many twists and turns. Totally original story line. I love it.

Time travel with alternate universes creation. A shifting point of view creates a sense of being lost in the story. Received free from Amazon.

Stan C. Smith has done a terrific job of creating suspense in his newest book, Genesis Sequence, a story that goes back to the beginnings of his Across the Horizon series. Genesis Sequence is unique in that it shares Ripple’s (a drone’s) point of view during his encounters with Skyra, a Neanderthal who lives 47,675 years in the past. In Genesis Sequence, Smith creates a fresh, compelling backstory that reveals new aspects about Ripple that were not previously known. In the story, Ripple aptly describes himself as the “Swiss Army knife of robotic drones. Besides having a wealth of information and decisional autonomy, Ripple also has the ability to create his own cognitive companions, Muffin and Data. I especially loved the characters’ personalities, the wonderful analogies, and the rich detail. I predict you will find Genesis Sequence as addictive as I did.

Very unusual time travel story!
I am fascinated by stories about early prehistorical people. Having a drone as a major character was rather unique. I like the way it became emotionally attached and protective of the Neanderthal girl. Very interesting and well written. -
When Ripple met Skyra….wow what a way to meet! Skyra’s way of life is violent and unpredictable and Ripple is a drone who wants to learn more about a Neanderthal so he insinuates himself in her life a soon the two find themselves friends. It’s a great prequel to the series!

This book has an interesting twist on things.
I had read book 1 before this book and thought I'd be let down because of Book 1.
How wrong I was.
It has some interesting twists, that even if you read book 1 first, you will be pleasantly surprised! -
I enjoyed reading the prequel to this series. The author's writing is superb with original characters and a wonderful story line. The story held my interst from beginning to end.

I read this book as an arc. I found it to be a great addition to the series. As a prequel I thought it was a very good story. I highly recommend it
