Question: Any novels that has the theme of a man traveling back in time to medieval Europe!?
I've read a couple of these and found them an awesome read!. I don't know why, but seeing how a 21st century man uses the immediate resources around him in order to survive (and eventually prosper) during those Middle Ages is very exciting!.
A sample would be Michael Crichton's Timeline!. I've read a couple more but forgot the title!.!.!. Anyway it was when I was still a kid and my old novels are back at my parents house!. Probably buried in the attic!.
Anymore books you could recommend with the same plot!? I've been searching so far and no luck!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, State trooper travels to an alternate world and brings them gunpowder!. Unfortunately, this is one of the few Piper novels not available on Project Gutenberg
Richard Adam's Castaways in Time series, a group of time travelers who travel back so a slightly different world's renaissance!.
Mark Twain's Conn Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Island in the Sea of Time Series by S!.M!. Sterling!. Takes the Great Man of history as applied to time travel and substitutes in more of a modern new history approach!. Instead of a single inventor, it takes a whole community to change time!.
Four off the top of my head, If I currently had access to by books, I'd have another half dozen at least here!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
There's 'the Doomsday book' by Connie Willis, that's pretty decent!. S M Stirling's 'Island in the Sea of TIme' series features a chunk of modern America thrown back to about 1200 BC!. Eric Flint's 'Ring of Fire' series is similar (chunk of American thrown back to 1400's Europe), but I liked Stirling's a bit better!.

I don't know so much about books, but Army of Darkness starring Bruce Campbell has that sort of plot!.
The film is a sequel to The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, so you might want to watch those first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
"A Connecticut Yankee in King Aurthur's Court" by Mark TwainWww@QuestionHome@Com
"The House on the Strand" by Daphne du Maurier

"One of the best stories this master of romantic suspense has given us, and that is good news!. Blending spellbinding suspense with uncanny realism in her most gripping novel since "Rebecca", Daphne du Maurier has created a stunning story of two worlds existing side-by-side!. On vacation at an ancient manor house, a young man takes an experimental drug that transports him 600 years into the past, while leaving his body in the present!."
[This is my favorite Daphne du Maurier novel]Www@QuestionHome@Com
