The Cross-Time Enginneer series by Leo Frankowski is a 5 book series
that finds a Twentieth century Polishman transported back to 13th
century Poland ten years before the Mongol invasion!
Conrad Stargard the hero of the series is a bit of a womanizer who in
these books does many things that some women could find offensive.The
Males of our society I think would definitely enjoy this series, Conrad
institutes many things men would find enjoyable including opening many
Pink Dragon inns (aka playboy inns) where topless women serve the now
large money making society. Conrad knowing he has only ten years to get
Poland ready to combat the Mongols does many things to prepare for
them. Conrad over these series of books,The Cross-Time Engineer,The
High Tech Knight, The Radiant Warrior, The Flying Warlord, Lord
Conrad's Lady institutes many changes into this society. He at first is
met by resistance but is helped by his friendship with a powerful Baron
and the King of Poland, over the course of the years he opens schools,
starts an army, builds airplanes! and starts a money system. Conrad
does encounter problems during the whole ten years he has an inquistion
by the church hanging over his head, plus the whole knights templar
organaiztion is out to kill him for his freeing of slaves that they
intented to sell most of which were children. I really enjoyed these
five books I do not want to go further into detail in that it might
ruin the enjoyment you would receive from reading these books. The five
books our a nice easy read and for those who enjoy tome travel books
with a historical bent these books our for you.
