"Island in the Sea of Time" is the first out of the three novels of the Nantucket series by S. M. Stirling.
A spherical region, including the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, is transported by an unknown phenomenon (called "The Event" by the ) back in time to the Bronze Age circa 1250s BC (corresponding to the late Heroic Age of the Trojan War). The trilogy describes the conflict between the different factions of the island's population—some trying to dominate the world for their own benefit, others trying to better it, while most just want to survive, work hard, and claw their way back to something approaching their pre-Event way of life.
The second book in the series is "Against the Tide of Years" and the third, "On the Oceans of Eternity". Both take the place about 10 years after The Event.
The effect of The Event on modern Earth is covered in Stirling's Emberverse series.
