About this series
Everyone nowadays seems to have problems—money, health, politics, personal commitment, sexual identity. But if you think things are tough in the present, wait till you experience the Middle Ages. None of that mythical Arthur-Galahad-Merlin stuff but the real thing—harsh laws, unruly peasants, primitive medicine, heavy taxes and the continual prospect of violence.
A dedicated scientist is willing to risk his life to prove the possibility of time travel. A wealthy sponsor is willing to risk not only his life but the lives of others in order to right what he perceives as an ancient wrong. A haphazard crew of half-trained men and women, many of whom think they are headed for a brief vacation, will be risking their lives regardless of any intentions of their own.
Lots of excitement, travel and adventure, and a chance to meet exotic foreigners. Simply remember this—despite anyone's hopes or plans, history might not agree to change.

- Conflict Resolution for Mercenaries
Remember that come-on? Recruiting Now! A team of men and women. Sounded pretty good, didn't it? Especially the mixed company. Perhaps you foresaw romance, eh? How's that going for you? You probably paid no attention to the subtle warnings of sickness and death — simply assumed the journey would be on the order of a week-long hiking trip or trail ride. Well... at least there's plenty of fresh air, a good deal of attractive scenery, plenty of quaint natives and their colorful customs. So cheer up! We didn't lie to you. Overlooked a few details, maybe, like the possibility of a return trip — but you can't expect to have everything perfect. All in all it's not such a bad situation we face... always assuming we can gain more recruits — a LOT more recruits.
- Community Organizing for Mercenaries
Despite past triumphs the times are still unsettled, and many of our heroes and heroines have either new problems or continuing old ones. Cam is forced to view his fate, while Saipele must build a new life. Jack and Edith have additional difficulties to overcome. Sheila has managed to get herself in a serious jam. Brian, Colin, Barry, LeeAnn and the others... Same deal. Life has become more elemental, true, but has it become more simple or simply more stark? And there's still no way back, you realize.
- Time Mgmt for Mercenaries
Readers take note! This book is not a Medieval slasher epic but a serious look at 11th century society and alternate history, containing realistic people and situations. It is character-driven and has minimal sex and gore. In other words, within the limits of fiction, if time travel were feasible it might happen like this. Read the sample before buying. Recruiting Now! Join a mismatched team of men and women on an unthinkable journey to forever alter history — for better or worse. Come on! What's the worst that can happen? Sickness, death by misadventure, some mistake that drops you in the middle of nowhere, instant oblivion? Sure, those are possible, but look on the bright side. Well... No, I can't actually describe the bright side — a great deal of our project is confidential. But you do like adventure, don't you? And how's your attitude toward a bit of looting and pillaging? (By the way, we're trying to save up-front money — can you supply any of your own armor?)
