Description

CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY-OR DIE!One moment Conrad Schwartz was suffering from a severe hangover as he hiked through the mountains of present-day Poland, the next he was running for his life from an angry Teutonic knight. Things went downhill from there, and he finally had to face the disheartening fact he had somehow been stranded in 1231 A.D.He would have been happier if he had known less history. But there was very bad news in his new future, so he set out to turn Medieval Poland into the most powerful country in the thirteenth century. It wouldn't be easy. He would be investigated by the Inquisition (he should have expected that), be knighted, round up vassals, build a city, survive armed combat with the Champion of the Teutonic Knights, invent the steam engine and cloth factories, establish universal education, and organize an army.He needed that army most of all, because he knew that the Mongol hordes would attack in only ten years and destroy medieval Poland-and that would really mess up Conrad's life.Three novels in the Locus best-selling series in one volume.At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

    So excited to see this series is available digitally, my paperback copies are well-worn! This is, hands down, the best "time travel" series EVER! Conrad is a brilliant engineer and jack-of-all-trades, so when he finds himself back in time he fixes what he can and constantly trips over the traditions and superstitions with his modern perspective. His good heart and charm make you fall in love with the character..I wish the author had lived long enough to write many more of these novels.
  • Great time travel series

    Can Conrad change history by “inventing” technology (glider, railroad)? Great series. I enjoyed all of the authors books, sorry to hear he is no longer with us. ;-(
