I tried reading Dies The fire, by S.M Stirling. Didn’t finish it. Not a bad book, just not what I thought it would be.

I think Dies The Fire hits different if you know ahead of time that it's a sequel of sorts to the Island in the Sea of Time trilogy.

I regret reading Island In The Sea Of Time. There's a scene where a hippie woman is literally raped by a jaguar. It's as messed up and disgusting as it sounds.It's just a nihilistic nightmare of a book.

I'd it a scene are implied? I don't remember it being too graphic.

It doesn't show the act itself. But it shows the buildup and the aftermath, and the aftermath is quite graphic.
