The Wandering Warriors: Includes two bonus stories

3.5/5 ( ratings)

Alternate history and time travel, where a barnstorming baseball team from the 1940s is brought back to third-century Rome to teach the Romans how to play baseball and, if they're lucky, live to tell the tale. The book holds two additional stories, both reprints, one by each author. "A Trade in Serpents", by Alan Smale, features an alternate-history version of Benjamin Franklin, and "Stephen to Cora to Joe, or, the Truth as I Know it", by Rick Wilber features a ghostly Stephen Crane arriving in an open boat to play modern day amateur baseball and dispense some wisdom to a disconsolate writer.
Contents:
* The Wandering Warriors / novella by Alan Smale and Rick Wilber; a 1940s barnstorming baseball team, led by retired baseball player and spy Moe Berg, is transported from rural Illinois to Ancient Rome, just after the death of Emperor Septimius Severus.
