I just reread this, and it's still an excellent guilty pleasure. I love the idea of a society building back up (a la the middle third of [b:The Stand|149267|The Stand|Stephen King|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1213131305s/149267.jpg|1742269]) and when you mix in the touch of time travel (a la [b:Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen|676235|Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen (Paratime Police)|H. Beam Piper|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1177031983s/676235.jpg|1430769]), I'm pretty much hooked. What seals the deal, however, is the emphasis on American egalitarianism and the Bill of Rights in the midst of 17th century Germany --- it's an immensely patriotic work.
