The ''Island In The Sea Of Time Series'' is what we call a trilogy by Creator/SMStirling, lacking any more official name, for the series that starts with ''Literature/IslandInTheSeaOfTime''.

It starts off when the entire island of Nantucket is [[MassTeleportation sent back in time]] to the late Bronze Age by a mysterious dome of light. "The Event" also brings along the Eagle, a Coast Guard training vessel--a mixed blessing for Nantucket, for while the ship and its crew prove invaluable in saving the island from starvation, one of the officers, [[MeaningfulName William Walker]] gathers a band of followers and hijacks a ship for England, where he sets himself up as a warlord among the Indo-European tribes of the area. For obvious reasons, the people of Nantucket are not pleased with this, and the Town Meeting, under the leadership of former police chief Jared Cofflin and Marian Alston, captain of the Eagle, sends a force after him.
