   I highly recommend these three novels set in the Northern Song Dynasty. The male protagonist quietly builds his own hidden power, using modern knowledge to create firearms, telescopes, and hot air balloons.

The war scenes are grand, the plot is full of twists and turns—a super engaging new alternate history novel!
