Beware of creating your worst enemy.
All Joe Colsco wanted out of life was a reasonably interesting job supporting a quiet, comfortable suburban lifestyle, eventually a small family, and time to pursue hobbies. Instead, a freak accident casts him naked onto a beach of another planet inhabited by humans with technology circa 1700. In time, Joe, now known as Yozef Kolsko, makes the difficult acceptance of a new life, has a respectable position in his new society, and is married with a child on the way. But all is not rosy. He has become embroiled in a struggle beyond any dream he could have had – or any nightmare.
The Narthani are a militant society intent on subjugating the Caedelli, the people he’s come to identify with. Despite Yozef’s hope to focus his life on transferring scientific knowledge and supporting a quiet life, he finds his life’s direction moving beyond his control. As his actions and ideas become more important in resisting the Narthani, he reluctantly finds himself dragged into leadership roles he doesn’t believe himself qualified – including efforts to unite the Caedelli clans.
The transformation of Joseph Colsco to Yozef Kolsko is about to take another step. Unwittingly, the Narthani themselves are creating an opponent unlike any they have ever faced, an enemy beyond their conceptions.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Mark XXV The overall rating I’m giving is an average for all of the series books published so far. There is a marked improvement in both style and plot lines development from book 1 (two stars) to book 3 (3+ stars). All three books are page turners and kept me engaged, though alien abduction setup at the beginning of “Cast Under an Alien Sun” was so cliche, that I’m almost sure the author wrote it with tongue in cheek. Or maybe not, because what you definitely will not find in the series is…
Prerty good I did enjoy the action sequences and found the overall story good. Sometimes the author provided way too much information, such as the way time is kept.Overall well worth rhe price.
I love the “Yankee in King Arthur’s court” story lines and … This entire series is definitely worth a few more books. The third book is slower than the others but the story has expanded its scope. I love the “Yankee in King Arthur’s court” story lines and Thorensen does an excellent job. Great characters.
