Conrad's Lady Omnibus

Conrad Stargard #4-6

by Leo Frankowski

One moment Conrad Schwartz was suffering from a severe hangover as he hiked through the mountains of present-day Poland, the next he was hurled back to the same country in the 13th century. He remembered from his history classes that in another ten years, Mongol hordes were scheduled to attack, pillage, burn and kill-and Conrad was likely to suffer all of the above. So, he set out to turn Poland into a world power by introducing universal education, aircraft, radios, stemboats, and discourage Mongols or anybody else from messing with either Poland or Conrad. But things weren't going to be quite that simple. The Mongols were not quite as awed by advanced technology as he had hoped. Also, he was under observation by Time Lords who didn't approve of disruptions in the flow of historical time. Last, and anything but least, he had married the formidable Lady Francine, and there was absolutely nothing simple about that noble-born and tempestuous woman. . . .Publisher's Note: This book has appeared in parts as The Flying Warlord, Lord Conrad's Lady and Conrad's Quest for Rubber. This is the first unified appearance of the complete book.

[Allen McDonnell · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had read more than once all of the first six Lord Conrad adventures published by Leo Frankowski in the mid 1980's. In the mood for some light reading I went looking for Kindle editions of these books and discovered that all six have been collected into Omnibus editions, the second three as this book. Couldn't beat the price for books I know and enjoy because they are so deliciously 'Politically Incorrect' in their portrayal of male-female relationships in a historical context. There is a lot of light humor and appeal to male vanity and sense of adventure in these books and it was a lot of fun to reread them all over again.
