If you liked that series and want to check out some other good historical fiction, you might also like:
- the Belisarius series (starting with "An Oblique Approach") by Eric Flint and David Drake which is an alternate history / military science fiction series chronicling Belisarius' (one f the all time great Roman generals) war of survival against a being from our far future. My description doesn't really do it justice... it's a great read.
- the Ring of Fire series (starting with "1632"), also by Eric Flint, in which a small West Virgina mining town is suddenly moved to somewhere in Germany during the 30 Year's War. The first book is a little too pro-union for my taste, but it's still a good read. The series really blossoms a couple of books in when Flint opens things up into a shared universe and invites a lot of other authors to come and play
