Book Three of the Castaways in Time Series
Torn from modern-day America to an English past that never was—can time traveler Bass Foster bring peace to a world at war?
Lost in time!
It all began with a small group of people who were trapped in Bass Foster's twentieth-century American home during a terrible storm. Somehow they were carried back through time and space to an alternate seventeenth-century England, a realm at war and ruled by Arthur Tudor. Bass, Krystal, and the rest had either adapted to their strange new home—or died in the attempt. And now, Bass, a Duke of the Realm, and one of the king's most valued commanders, has been given a seemingly impossible mission: to unite the warring kingdoms of Ireland under Arthur's own loyal ally, King Brian.
But in Ireland waited both treacherous friends and bloodthirsty enemies. And mobilizing for action as well were the well-trained forces of the Holy Roman Empire, and a foe who could destroy them all—the mysterious lords of the Time Projector! |

Excerpt
|
Trapped in a world not their own...
Harold, Archbishop of York, had never planned to cause trouble for anyone. But when he used the Time Projector to flee his totalitarian twenty-first century Earth, he created a disturbance in time which caught in its ripples many an unwilling twentieth-century American, including Bass Foster.
Bass had never wanted to become a lord or a leader of men, but cast back in time, to this world where war was the only way of life, it was fight and conquer—or die...
Yet what neither Harold nor Bass could have foreseen was that they would soon be followed by other travelers in time—travelers intent on putting an end to them both!
