The Right Man for the job
One moment Conrad Schwartz was a hungover hiker in the mountains of modern Poland, the next he was running for his life from an angry Teutonic Knight.
At first Conrad just thought he’d stumbled across a mad hermit. But several days of ever stranger events convinced him that he had somehow been stranded in 1231 A.D.
And that meant Conrad had to turn Medieval Poland into the most powerful contry in the world. Otherwise the Mongols were destined to detroy it–in just ten years!
Worryingly, I have had this book on my to-read shelf since I was 16 years old. I had no idea of anything other than its name, and of course have read plenty of similar works in the interim.
I still managed to totally enjoy myself and kept reading until about 2:15 in the morning. I seriously considered getting out of bed and buying the next one, but sense prevailed and I went to sleep instead. Somehow, Conrad is just fascinating and I want to read moooore!
