The first novel is free as an ebook
The Series is made of the following Novels:
- Conflict
- Contact
- Collapse (TBA 2019)
Tropes in The Crossover Series:
- Alien Space Bats: Yeah, having HUNDREDS of medicine elders from all over the world commit ritualistic SUICIDE is one of the strangest ways to initiate time travel!
- Alternate History: The introduction of gunpowder warfare, horses and other inventions centuries earlier have a dramatic change in history.
- A-Team Firing: Subverted due to the limited ammo and the training that the Time-Travelers have. The human wave tactics and inferior range weaponry of their opponents make them easy targets
- Bittersweet Ending
- Cool Horse: The Travelers have brought horses to the past which gives them a huge advantage over the Natives in the Americas
- Crazy-Prepared: The Time-Travellers make a great effort to get as many essential resources for their jump back in time. They are prepared for the fact they might not come back
- Curb-Stomp Battle: The team of five brought several guns and LOTS of ammo back in time as well as horses (both of which are terrifying for somebody who has never dealt with them). The lone veteran in the group also had homemade Plate Armor as well as a Freaking broadsword!
- Our Time Travel Is Different: Combined with the stuff above, having to go through a mist in order to time travel is truly mind-boogling
- What Year Is This?: It takes some time for the Americans to find out what year it is in the past. They used the location of certain stars to figure out the the year.
