 An American sci-fi and fantasy writer, Stephen Michael Stirling is one of the modern popularizers of AH as a genre, along with [[alternate_history:Harry Turtledove]]. Poster-child for all [[Wank|tech wankers]]. Stirling is the author of the (more or less) 'acclaimed' [[Draka|Draka series]], the much-loved [[alternate_history:island_in_the_sea_of_time|Nantucket series]], the Emberverse novels (a spinoff of sorts of the Nantucket series) and //[[The Peshawar Lancers]]//.
-For some time, he was a member of AH.com, under the handle [[offtopic:joatsimeon]]. He was banned for comments he made relating to genocide against Muslims some years ago, which Ian dug up. Initially, his banning was a controversial issue amongst AH.commers of the time.
+The term [[ISOT]] was based on the name of the first installment of the Nantucket series, the novel //[[Island in The Sea Of Time]]//. The premise of the novel is that one such ISOT event teleports the modern day island of Nantucket back to the times of deep antiquity.
