The Marshals

Description

The New United States is about to join the United States of Europe, becoming the State of Thuringia and Franconia. The Thirty Years' War is still being waged. Armies cross and re-cross the German states. With war comes lawlessness, and with lawlessness comes the need for law and order. Who can fill this enforcement niche better than three retired old soldiers, known to down-timers as the Die Drei Alten Soldaten? Archie Mitchell, Harley Thomas, Max Huffman, retired US Army Master Sergeants who, with their apprentice, Dieter Issler, use their up-time experience as Deputy Sheriffs, to become the first Marshals of the newly created District Court system of the SoTF. The Marshals are little known until Thomas Bloem and his sister, Maria D'Angelo, brother and sister journalists, arrive to interview them. They record the formation of the Marshal's Service and the three Marshals, from their first case as Marion County Deputy Sheriffs, until they leave Grantville to provide law and order throughout the State of Thuringia and Franconia.
