Accidental Warrior

The Unlikely Tale of Bloody Hal

By: Colin Alexander

Narrated by: Alex Freeman

"A rousing what-if look at a decidedly different America persuasively stuck in a historical past.” (Kirkus Reviews)

A college party lands freshman Hal Christianson in an America that could have been: no smartphones, no cars, no flush toilets. What he finds is a squabbling bunch of states, the consequence of the colonies having grown up on their own after European civilization collapsed from plague in the 1670s, and they are poised on the brink of war.

For a socially awkward young man who takes refuge in online games, this is a bad situation. He has no knowledge or experience that is useful in this world. He does, however, have one skill of value in a world where the rifle is a new invention: He is a competitive fencer.

What do you do when the world is strange and you have no way to control your own fate? Can Hal grow up fast enough to survive in this world and can he find a way home?

One of my favorite books. now on Audible.

A really good heroes journey. The transformation from college student to warrior and then leader was really well done.

Loved it

The book was the right combo for me; unique plot, interesting characters, and at the same time an easy read. It left me wanting more.

Oh yeah, and it didn’t have the usual “oh, no, but what about the timeline!?!” self flagellation that most novels about any sort of time travel or alternate histories spend way too much time on.

Feel Good and easy read.

This i a simple hero story that does not pretend tp be anything else. Well written.

Accidental Warrior is a good read!

It's a simple hero story, that is not too predictable and will have you cheering for the characters.

For teens

It is well written and has a interesting premise.
he gets transported to an alternate universe that is more inline to the independence era. while the year being about the same as his old world.

However there are things that just make one cringe, the main character is, well is quite pathetic.
he blushes a lot, falls in love in seconds while acting like somebody who has never seen an average looking girl or pr0n, while running behind the with the "my queen" attitude.

I don't know why some authors have these "hard" on for writing these main character, but it would have been 10 times better a book if the personality of the main character would atleast be normal and not so artificially bad.
