I thoroughly enjoyed this "reverse time travel". Take one modern day rocket scientist, add in a Scotsman transported 800 years into the future who's been given time and money to adapt, and you have the story. The magic that's been added to the story is a matter of convenience to the author, but good story telling carried me through. I'm a sucker for a warrior, and Grey has adapted well enough and is intelligent enough to capture my attention. Grace is like able from a new mother perspective, more comfortable with science than with humanity and unsure how to care for her orphaned nephew. Her awakened maternal instincts were believable to me, and her struggle to do the right thing was tangible.
