Synopsis

THE NEW WORLD FALLS INTO THE RING OF FIRE. All new stories set in the Ring of Fire series, edited by New York Times best-selling series creator Eric Flint.

Europe, 1632. It is a time of upheaval and great change, but none so great as when an unexplained temporal and spatial phenomenon known as the Ring of Fire transports the blue collar town of Grantville, West Virginia, smack dab in the
middle of the Thirty Years War. When the dust settles, it becomes clear that the town of Grantville isn't going anywhere, and the can-do Americans of the twentyfirst century begin altering the course of history forever.

It is now five years later, and the effects of the Ring of Fire reach from the Old World to the New. But the course of exploration and colonization will look much different than it did in our timeline. The French bought the English possessions in
North America way back in 1633, but have never done much with the uncivilized backwater. Until the new king of France, Gaston I, decides that it's time to seize the territory and establish French control over it.

Here then, a new anthology, edited by Ring of Fire series creator Eric Flint, chronicling the exploits of the citizens of Grantville, their allies, and their enemies, as they venture forth onto a new continent.

Goodreads review by Truls on January 21, 2022

Trots det löjliga omslaget var denna alldeles utmärkt. Det rör sig om en serie noveller som skapar kulisserna för eventuella konflikter i nya världen i 163x-världen. Jag rekommenderar den för de som läst andra delar av serien.......more

Goodreads review by Redsteve on May 27, 2024

Interesting arrangement. This book starts out with a novella by Flint, Huff, and Goodlett, followed by a collection of connected short stories by other authors, and a final story by Bjorn Hasseler that largely pulls it all together. The stories are from different points of view so characters (some f......more

Goodreads review by Roy on March 16, 2024

Imagine if someone knew what was going to happen with the destruction of indigenous Americans, and wanted to do something about it? This version of the alternate world where American ideals are introduced into the world in 1632 by displaced West Virginians focuses on the relationship between Native A......more

Goodreads review by Ronald on January 02, 2022

Another good entry into the east coast North America geographic area of the Ring of Fire ongoing events. The cover painting is very symbolic and does fit the nastiness of France on the sinister side. The dexter side also is symbolic and fitting. Tom Kidd and Jennie Faries are to complemented on thei......more

Goodreads review by Lance on November 16, 2023

Another great read. It is interesting to me that there's a portion of my sense of patriotism that rebels at the idea that the United States I know will never be in this alternate universe (not, of course, that it is always the US I want it to be anyway). At the same time, Man of La Mancha actually ha......more
