Amos is an artist and a CGI animator. Who the heck thought it would be a good idea to transmigrate him into the body of a feudal lord? Now, he must deal with a backwater barony and among people who hate his guts. That's not even mentioning the fact that someone may be out to get him. His 21st-century beliefs, "Liberty and justice for all and all that other stuff," don't really mesh well with the current political system. Can he overcome his naïveté before it gets him killed?
What changes could the average person bring to the ancient world? Does it take a military genius, a chemist, or an engineer? Does it take a person from the future with an AI chip or a professor of history? Or can a person who invents something so he won't fall off his horse change history? Can a desperate attempt to create sugar from sweet beets cause an economic shift? Can everyday things we take for granted really change the entire course of history?
***Author Note***
This story starts slow as the foundation is being laid out and some of Amos's views are challenged. I tried to really dig into the emotional struggle of putting a person into a different culture and being forced into a job they were unprepared for. I have read a lot of books where the main character has been transmigrated with vast amounts of knowledge, has special abilities, or has a mindset primed to accept being in the situation they are in. I thought to myself, 'Yeah, but what if someone average got sent there? What if the only advantage they had was a High School education and lots of time looking up random stuff on the internet?' Unfortunately, that includes cat videos and memes.
I hope you enjoy the book. I will try to update it every Saturday.
