The High-Tech Knight

Although I'm still giving it three stars, I like this one better than the first in the series. Conrad's plans to transform 13th century Poland are at an early stage but beginning to show some promise. His exercises in engineering are served up in a more digestible form this time. His sex life is still a bit tiresome, but it mostly goes on in the background.

He gets into a feud with the Teutonic Knights, which is generally expected to result in his death. However, as this series continues into further volumes, it's fairly safe to bet on his continuing existence.
