Forum:William Forstchen's New Series

Forstchen is best known, at least by me, for co-authoring, and probably doing most of the heavy lifting on, several series of AH and straight historical fiction published in the 00s on which former House Speaker Newt Gingrich got top billing. Since then he's published a rather alarming trilogy about an EMP sending us back to the Stone Age in the blink of an eye. Now he's turned his attention to the Lost Regiment, ie the 35th Maine (there was no such regiment in real life, but I find that a perfectly valid bit of artistic license given his premise). The Fightin 35th boards a transport ship after the Battle of Gettysburg (you know, the one that was fought in and around a landlocked village!), gets its Marcus Scaurus on, and winds up in some fantasy world where the dominant culture is not Byzantine but medieval Russian (an odd choice for a professor of US history who, to the best of my knowledge, has never been published in other branches of the field, but whatever) and must defend not-Kiev from some ravening horde of inhuman monsters.

I just became aware of this the other day. Seems Book Two is just out. The premise sounds like a bit much for me, but arguably no worse than the first few Destroyermen books, which I ate right up. Anyone know anything about this?
