A mysterious cosmic force-the "Ring of Fire"-has
hurled the town of Grantville from 20th century West Virginia back to 17th
century Europe, and into the heart of the Thirty Years War. With their seemingly
magical technology, and their radical ideas of freedom and justice, the
time-lost West Virginians have allied with Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, to
form the Confederated Principalities of Europe, changing the course of
history-in ways both small and large. The saga begun in 1632 continues
with all-new stories by New York Times best-selling authors Eric Flint and
Andrew Dennis, plus Dave Freer, K. D. Wentworth, and other top writers, as the
time-lost Americans attempt an underwater salvage operation to raise the sunken
Swedish flagship, the uprising known as the Ram Rebellion continues, Cardinal
Richelieu plots to destroy Grantville and its allies, an American prisoner of
war carries on a dangerous romance with the Danish King's daughter, and
more in a volume that no fan of the Ring of Fire series will want to be
without.
