The Ivanhoe Gambit

The Ivanhoe Gambit is the first book in the TimeWars series by Simon Hawke.

Overview
The world of Sir Walter Scott is invoked as Sergeant Major Lucas Priest of the US Army Temporal Corps and his men are called back into the past to impersonate characters like Ivanhoe and Robin Hood. ''Sometimes Sergeant Major Lucas Priest wondered why he had enlisted in the U.S. Army Temporal Corps. Fighting in the Time Wars wasn't the easiest way to make a living. Sailing with Lord Nelson, battling Custer at Little Big Horn, and a year of pillaging with Attila and his Huns had left him ready for a vacation.'' ''But a demented scheme to impersonate the King of England was threatening to change the course of history. Two army teams had already failed to intercept the madman. So Lucas and his men must clock back to the twentieth century to try and prevent an irreversible split in time.'' ''But when Lucas discovers whom they were to impersonate, he almost wishes that Hannibal had killed him back in Carthage. How were Ivanhoe, Robin Hood, and a band of merry outlaws supposed to protect the future of the world?''

Plot
A group of soldiers in the Temporal Army Corps find themselves on a special adjustment in the 12th century during the time of Ivanhoe and Robin Hood. Tasked with stopping a rogue Referee threatening to split the timestream, the team find themselves playing key roles as Robin Hood, Little John and Ivanhoe himself.
