5.0 out of 5 stars Very Original and Brillent
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2019

At first, having Sean sucked through a teleported to a medevial-age planet
reminded me of "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court", a novel written I believe by Jules Vern. Once I got into the book I quickly realized that it had nothing in common with the cited story except both occurred in a circa 1200 CE Medieval Society. This story is loaded with action, adventure, and a touch of romance. IT IS VERY ORIGINAL, I BELIEVE. It s also very well written and I only spotted a few typo's. I really, really enjoyed this story and didn't even do a review in my desire to continue with book two. If you are a science fiction fan, I strongly feel you will absolutely love his book and this author!

Storyline moves smoothly, although at times slightly confusing, throughout the book. Characters fit very well into the plot. Will check out his other books.

I assume this is the first novel for this author since I can't find out anything more about him. A bit different science fiction but I thoroughly enjoyed this book I can see that this is set up for a sequel and I certainly look forward to reading that as well. This is not hard science fiction with aliens and all that. Characters are well developed in an alternative world scenario. Just fun to read!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good bu lacking basic proofreading and editing
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
I generally liked a lot about this book-fully fleshed characters (and not just the main ones), the medieval setting and an imaginative plot. I don't care so much for the special forces aspect-it's cliched with the good guys being near supermen and the bad guys been evil to the core.

I'm a bit surprised none of the other reviews mentioned it, but this book cries out with the need for a decent edit or at least proofreading. The main character's name changes from Shawn to Sean at a dizzying pace, sometimes within the same paragraph. The word "reign" is used for horse's reins. I'm usually very tolerant of such goofs but they are glaringly apparent here. Perhaps a non-final version was inadvertantly uploaded to Amazon?

Anyway, overall I liked the book, will look forward to more from this author.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. There are some structure issues particularly multiple POVs and dialogue in the same paragraph that took some getting used to but the overall story was enjoyable. Highly recommend reading for any fan of military sci-fi trapped in time type stories. Will definitely be continuing this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting twist on a common genre
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2022

Loved the book, i've read hundreds of books over the years and this is definitely in my top 10. Just as you think you've guessed the end, the author throws you a curve ball. Very interesting balance between King, Country and Religion.

I have no idea how the author has restrained Sean from spreading his future knowledge far and wide.

Great read and I can't wait to read the second book (I am writing this review after reading all three books in order)

Keep up the great work!
