About the book
Ryo Hayabusa Kim was having a bad day. Like, a really bad day. The kind where your starship blows up, the love of your life dies in your arms, and you wash up in feudal Japan… circa 1273.
To be fair, some of it was his own dumb fault. When the alarm klaxons started blaring, he ran back for his father’s knives like the idiot he was. One of them was even forged by Masamune himself!
To top it off, his destroyed ship’s AI beamed itself directly into his brain.

To make matters worse, three pirates showed up at his camp. Oni pirates to be exact, because in this universe monsters don’t just exist in fairy tales.
Then he met Lord So, the young samurai lord of a rural island at the edge of Japan. And that’s when Ryo realized just how bad his day really was. The Mongol horde is coming, and they land in less than two years.
So what’s a chef to do? He cooks. He builds. And he starts with oyster shells, sand, wood, and… bat guano.
From Chef to Crafter to Conqueror is a kingdom-building progression fantasy and time-travel alternate history set during the real Mongol invasions of Japan. Perfect for fans of 1632 by Eric Flint, Legend of the Arch Magus, and The Beginning After The End. Books 1 through 6 are available now.
