Conrad Stargard’s Adventures
by Leo Frankowski
Conrad Stargard, 20th century Polish engineer, stumbles through a time portal that was
accidentally left open by those meddlers in the Historical Corps, and finds himself in
13th century Poland, whereupon he does any Connecticut Yankee proud.
One night when we were playing duplicate bridge, Bryan Campbell told me that this was the favorite time-travel series of a friend of his, which goes to show that just because my rating of a story is low, doesn’t mean that you (or Bryan’s friend) won’t enjoy it.
“This country and this century are in horrible shape because of the lack of
socialism!”
“You are absolutely right, Sir Conrad! What is socialism?”
