Summary:
The Baltic War which began in the novel 1633 is still raging, and the
time-lost Americans of Grantville-the West Virginia town hurled back
into the seventeenth century by a mysterious cosmic accident-are
caught in the middle of it. Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden and
Emperor of the United States of Europe, prepares a counter-attack on
the combined forces of France, Spain, England, and Denmark-former
enemies which have allied in the League of Ostend to destroy the
threat to their power that the Americans represent-which are
besieging the German city of Luebeck. Elsewhere in war-torn Europe,
several American plans are approaching fruition. Admiral Simpson of
Grantville frantically races against time to finish the USE Navy's
ironclad ships-desperately needed to break the Ostender blockade of
the Baltic ports. A commando unit sent by Mike Stearns to England
prepares the rescue the Americans being held in the Tower of London.
In Amsterdam, Rebecca Stearns continues three-way negotiations with
the Prince of Orange and the Spanish Cardinal-Infante who has
conquered most of the Netherlands. And, in Copenhagen, the captured
young USE naval officer Eddie Cantrell tries to persuade the King of
Denmark to break with the Ostender alliance, all while pursuing a
romantic involvement with one of the Danish princesses.
