For an SF writer, the idea is irresistible: take a military force armed with modern weapons and throw them back in time. As mentioned above, Poul Anderson pulled the trick in “The Man Who Came Early,” and other writers have been doing it ever since. Among the notable examples are Leo Frankowski’s Cross-Time Engineer series, John Birningham’s Axis of Time series, and the 1980 movie The Final Countdown. By far the biggest name in this area, however, is Eric Flint, whose Ring of Fire series tells of the contemporary town of Grantville, West Virginia, which is somehow thrown back to Germany in the 1630s. The Ring of Fire series has spawned a vast number of follow-up books by Flint and various other writers.

Add Jerry & Sharon Ahern to the list.

In Written in Time, a present-day Nevada family is transplanted back to 1904 by unknown hostiles. But they come prepared with modern weapons, and battle rages between the Naile family and a time-traveling army intent on conquering the world. Things look bad, but the Nailes have some unexpected allies: the Seventh United States Cavalry and Teddy Roosevelt.

Part alternate history, part military SF, Written in Time is all fun.
