The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England
A modern man wakes in medieval England with missing memories, a partially useful handbook, and the realization that he arrived through technology that lets wealthy travelers vacation in the past. Unfortunately, he is stranded in an era that is neither as simple nor as controllable as the service promised. His attempt to reconstruct what happened draws him into local relationships, rival travelers, and a threat involving the technology itself. Brandon Sanderson’s comic science-fiction adventure plays with time travel, simulation-like tourism, and medieval fantasy expectations while asking what kind of person someone chooses to be when his own past is uncertain.
