"The Ivanhoe Gambit" by Simon Hawke is a thrilling blend of time travel, military action, and historical adventure. In the 27th century, disputes between nations are no longer fought in the present—they’re resolved by sending soldiers back to pivotal battles of the past. It sounds like the perfect solution until things start going horribly wrong, altering history in unexpected and dangerous ways.
Lucas Priest, a soldier in the U.S. Army Temporal Corps, thought joining the time-traveling military unit would be an exciting break from his dull corporate life. But he soon finds himself fighting on the front lines of history, from the Roman legions to Attila’s Huns, and discovering that boredom is the least of his problems. When a mission to impersonate King Richard the Lionheart goes awry, Priest is thrown into a deadly conspiracy that could change the course of history forever.
A madman is threatening to kidnap and replace King Richard, and two previous commando teams have already failed to stop him. Now, it's up to Lucas and his new squad to succeed where others have fallen short. Their mission: prevent a timestream split that could unravel the very fabric of history. To do so, they must infiltrate medieval England, posing as legendary figures like Sir Ivanhoe and Robin Hood, and stop a plot that could plunge the future into chaos.
