“As for technical knowledge of her crew, think that one novel where a small US town ends up in Europe centuries ago for comparison ... only in spades.”
The first 2 novels in the series are available for free download at Baen.com. Lots of cool implications in the 1632 universe.
-—I think that you are referring to “1632” series by Eric Flint - which was very entertaining. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1632_series-—
This is a late comment on this thread, but I wanted to thank you for mentioning it. I had never heard of this series, despite the genre being right in my wheelhouse.
I’ve been consuming it and enjoying it, and there’s a ton of books to deal with. Glorious! The authors really do a good job of dealing with all the technological and political problems that would crop up if this event really happened. Very few cheap shortcuts in storytelling. It’s really good.
