    Looking for a book to read! A Republican-era warlord novel where the protagonist is a time traveler. It doesn't drastically alter history; instead, it uses a modern perspective to plan and train troops, gradually building up from a local power base. It includes political intrigue, warfare, and territorial expansion, with a steady pace and avoiding a simplistic feel. [Added to bookshelf][Added to bookshelf][Added to bookshelf]
