Summary:
Though the Thirty Years War continues to ravage 17th century Europe,
history as it once happened has been strongly deflected by the new
force which is rapidly gathering power and influence: the United
States of Europe, an alliance between Gustavus Adolphus, King of
Sweden, and the West Virginians from the 20th century led by Mike
Stearns who were hurled centuries into the past by a mysterious
cosmic accident—the Ring of Fire.. The USE has the know-how of 20th
century technology, but the American traditions of freedom and
justice is having an even stronger impact on Europe, and the rulers
of Europe are powerless to stuff the Grantville genie back into the
bottle. Virginia DeMarce, a trained historian and co-author of the
New York Times best seller, 1635: The Bavarian Crisis, continues the
saga of the time-lost Americans as seen through the eyes of both
Americans and Europeans, as the Americans try to make sense of the
strange world into which they have been hurled, and the Europeans try
to understand the abilities and behavior of the visitors from the
future. The result is a volume that will be irresistible to the
thousands of fans of the Ring of Fire series. Praise for 1634: The
Bavarian Crisis by Eric Flint and Virginia DeMarce: “. .. fascinating
reading. . .. It is especially refreshing to read an alternate
history that doesn't depend upon the clash of anachronistic arms, but
rather on how modern ideas of human rights, education, sanitation and
law might have affected the Europe of the 30 Years War.” —Publishers
