The mysterious cosmic phenomena which the former West Virginians call the "Ring of Fire" hurled the town back through time into the middle of the Thirty Years War. In spite of their advanced technology, the men and women of Grantville are greatly outnumbered and must deal carefully with the squabbling local tyrants-but they have no shortage of American courage and ingenuity. Eric Flint, a bright new star of science fiction and creator of the Ring of Fire universe, now presents a book of new fiction about the heroes of Grantville, as well as articles examining the problems of maintaining 20th century technology in the 17th century.

Can you make a radio using 17th century glassware and metallurgy?) <I>The Grantville Gazette</i> is a fascinating exercise in alternate history and imagination and will be a must-buy for everyone who read <I>1632 and 1633</i>.<P> 55837 26 10 2004 The Grantville Gazette (Ring of Fire) total:159|5:31|4:67|3:51|2:8|1:2| 159 594 202 5 0 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 12:50:57 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 12:51:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Jan 04 16:11:09 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 16:11:09 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Sep 21 12:56:12 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 12:58:13 -0700 2008
So many sidecar books to big-name series are just scraps put together to make a few more bucks off the stuff that wasn't good enough to go into the mainline novels. Not so here.
