<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sounds like the basic plot for the movie Beastmaster.

I'm starting S.M. Stirling's Island In The Sea of Time, in which the island of Nantuckett gets transported back to 1350 B.C. I was wondering how many more books like this exist. There's Eric Flint's Ring of Fire books, there's the Lost Regiment series (I keep forgetting the author's name), and Stirling's trilogy. I like these type of books. How many more books are out there that I haven't heard of? Does anyone know? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">There is a book called 1786 (I believe) where a town in Virginia is transported back to that year. I also read a book years ago called Remember the Alamo! where a group of soldiers goes back to the Alamo to try and win the battle for Texas...

Also, I asked the question about the Alamo book a few months ago, and am currently looking for that trilogy (Remember the Alamo, Remember Gettysburg and Remember Little Big Horn). I was talking more about people displaced through time and/or space, like the earlier examples I listed.

I think 1786 is the first book in a paralel series.

and 'out for revenge' has been used so many times as a plot line it just gets annoying.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Do you remember who the author of this 1786 was? If you let me know that, I can see if this bookstore I go to has it.

Apparently 1786 is going to be another book in that series, but hasn't been written yet, according to that website. If you get the chance, check out his first 2 books. They're pretty good. About a West Virginia town full of coal miners and good ole boys take on Europe during the 30 Year War. I can't wait for the rest of the series to be written.
