Review: Interesting idea presented well - but an abrupt ending

The future goes back to the past to prevent the disastrous future.  Great idea!This book is LONG.  It starts out with a decent description of their current time, and then goes back.  So much writing is spent on details of their time in old England, that I wondered if the book would ever move along.  I understand the need to convince the locals that they are just people from the future, but even with interesting encounters it dragged.  At about 30% I skimmed to the back to see if they would ever leave (they would, so I kept reading).  The similarity in the names was horribly confusing.  I couldn't keep the numerous characters straight, and just started ignoring the names.The trip to repair the future is awkward.  The battle was even more so.  It was like the author was tired of writing this story, but put forth good effort to wrap it up.  And then the battle ending was interesting, but odd.The end of the book went to another level that was not necessary, but definitely added another twist.  I wonder with all of these future encounters with the past if the past could ever have produced the original story line.The story was good.  The book had a few grammatical and punctuation issues, but no so many that they were distracting.  The need to ignore the names (and the fact that it really didn't make any difference in the story) indicates to me that it wasn't important to the story.Overall, frustratingly long for no real reason, but a good story.
