Richard III in the 21st Century	comment	Richard III in the 21st Century is a series of historical science-fiction novels by Joan Szechtman, about... well, guess. The series consists of: This Time (2009) Loyalty Binds Me (2011) Strange Times (2017)The first book, This Time, begins with Richard III making his final charge at Bosworth Field. He is felled by his own treasonous forces, succumbs to death......and wakes up in Portland, Oregon, in the year 2004, surrounded by oddly dressed strangers. It turns out Richard was successfully retrieved from the past by a research team who substituted a similar-looking already-dead man in the right armor in his place to avoid changing history, and grizzled project leader Evan Hosgrove is eager to get to speak to his favorite historical monarch.When an increasingly complicated series of events traps Richard in this unfamiliar time, he is forced to adapt to this new world. He soon discovers that while there is no way to rescue his beloved wife Anne from the past as well without changing history, he can bring his late son Edward to safety and becomes obsessed with figuring out how to do so. Along the way, he befriends the researchers who brought him there, learns to outgrow some of his old beliefs, and finds himself falling for a beautiful single mom, Sarah Levine.The second book, Loyalty Binds Me, picks up a year after the conclusion of This Time and finds Richard contending with the head of MI5, who wants Sarah's time-travel invention and is willing to legally entrap Richard in order to obtain it.The third book Strange Times sees Richard's Best Friend from the past, Francis Lovell, brought into the future by mistake, but in order to preserve the past Richard must send his friend back to face a possibly grim fate. Meanwhile, Adrian Strange finds himself trapped in the past and must learn to survive.Has no relation to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Or Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century. Or Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century.Probably.

Elaine and Emma and Mary's fathers are nowhere in sight, either. Richard also realizes, rather ruefully, that he accidentally favored his legitimate son Edward over his bastards John and Katherine.

Averted. Richard is portrayed as having scoliosis, which was confirmed. Averted. Richard is portrayed as having sent both Princes in the Tower into exile, to Ireland and Portugal. The recent project by The Richard III Society has asserted that the princes survived, to spend time in Ireland and Portugal, among other locations. If confirmed, then this trilogy is one of the few works of Ricardian fiction that actually got it right.

Their relationship grows more friendly, bizarrely enough, after Hosgrove shoots Richard, and the extent to which he regrets this convinces Richard that Hosgrove isn't as utterly merciless as he thought.

He proves willing to learn about and accept the viewpoints of his new time, though.

This was the same information used in the real world to identify Richard's remains in 2012- remains which, in the book, aren't Richard's at all, but a predeceased Identical Stranger's.

Richard III in the 21st Century / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Richard is delighted by Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Once he gets over his shock at realizing he was laughing at the Plague, anyway. Elaine's friends, the Califanis, work for a "creature shop", and Elaine introduces Richard to this concept by showing him Jurassic Park on DVD. "You've already experienced planes, trains, and automobiles..."

Richard III in the 21st Century / int_dbca2c99	comment	Red Herring: In Loyalty Binds Me, there are claims that the murder case against Richard will be backed up by DNA testing on the child skeletons found in the Tower. Richard reveals that the skeletons couldn't be the princes — he secretly sent them out of England and substituted two boys who resembled them to take their place in the Tower. But those boys resembled them so much because they were a result of their father's philandering... They never get to test the skeletons.

In Loyalty Binds Me, Richard is discomfited to discover his solicitor is named Henry Stafford, the same as his traitorous onetime friend the Duke of Buckingham. This turns out to be a Nonindicative Name, thankfully.

(The real-life Richard signed his letters as "R. Gloucestre" or "Richard Gloucestre" in life, as "Richard Plantagenet" wasn't a distinctive enough name to indicate which one he was.)
