Summary: Absolutly Fantastic!
Comment: The Cross-Time Engineer is among the best time travel books I have ever read. It leaves nothing to chance even displaying that properly placed geneticly enhanced War Horses can be found in 13th century Krakow. Conrad Stargard is plagued with moden emotions and ethics in a medieval world that holds life as worth little. It is a great set of books so be sure not to stop at number one.
Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent 5 book series of an accidental time traveller!
Comment: This book and the next four in the Conrad Stargard series are excellent. A talented and well educated 20th Century Polish engineer is accidentally dumped into 13th Century Poland. The Mongols are due to invade in 10 years!
Conrad makes a decision to try and alter history and save Poland from the Mongol invasion. To do it he will have to create the industrial revolution and something resembling a modern military in that time.
This series traces Conrads political and technological hurdles he faces to modernize a very backwards society. Fascinating reading. Read the first 5 in the series, avoid the 6th which focuses on a 13th century Polish peasant and is not nearly as good of story.
Rating: 4
Summary: 'Connecticut Yankee,' plus sex
Comment: Similar storyline to Twain's 'Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' - only this time, it's a Polish engineer in 13th century Poland.
It's a fun read, although I found it a bit convenient that the hero was an engineer - it would have been much more fun & challenging if the hero only had a rudimentary knowledge of how things worked.
A similar book to these that I'd also reccommend is 'Enchantment' by Orson Scott Card. That book and the Stargard series are the only time-travelling in Poland fantasy books I'm aware of.
