Title: Silly but serious
Review: The premise of this book is silly; if it isn't then, why is it so hard to explain to people without them looking at me like I am nuts?That being said, I really liked it. It tells the story of a small town in West Virginia being transported back to the 17th century, smack in the middle of the 30 Years War. Wackiness ensues.The characters don't spend a lot of time figuring out the why, but are confronted with the realities of living in the middle of a nasty and confused war in central Europe.They have books, TV, and guns - but they are surrounded by enemies from all sides.Sure, I will say it is silly. But it was compelling and has good characters and very very good research. You should really check it out if you are a fan of Alternate History or Military Sci Fi.
