The Conrad Stargard series, in which a twentieth-century engineer travels back in time to thirteenth-century Poland. It consists of the following books:
- The Cross Time Engineer
- The High Tech Knight
- The Radiant Warrior
- The Flying Warlord
- Lord Conrad's Lady
Two later books feature the same characters and setting but are only tangentially related:
- Conrad's Quest For Rubber
- Conrad's Time Machine
Other, stand-alone books written by Frankowski include:
- Fata Morgana
- Copernick's Rebellion
- A Boy and his Tank
Frankowski's most recent work has again featured Conrad Stargard. He has written Lord Conrad's Crusade in collaboration with Rodger Olsen, and has promised another Stargard book which will conclude the series.
