The Nantucket series (also known as the Nantucket trilogy or the Islander trilogy[1]) is a set of alternate history novels written by S. M. Stirling.[2][3]
The novels focus on the island of Nantucket in Massachusetts which was transported back in time to 1250 BC due to something called "The Event". Shortly thereafter a conflict develops between the democratic Republic of Nantucket and a group of renegade Americans led by the ex-Coast Guard lieutenant William Walker (based on the filibuster of the same name). The series was nominated for the Sidewise Award for Alternate History in 2000.[4] The series is closely related to Stirling's Emberverse with "The Change" being the synonymous point of departure.
