The premise of the Ring of Fire books is the transportation of a modern West Virginia town to 17th century Europe, and I have been enjoying the alternate history quite a bit.
They aren’t for everyone; the first few chapters of book 3 revolve around an industrial accident in a petroleum refinery cobbled together from 17th century tech, which probably doesn’t meet the literature bar of many.
Beyond just fun, I find them wholesome. It is obviously about the power of technology, but also organization and ideals, and it points out pockets of high competence existing in every time and place.
