Synopsis

Let’s do the “Time Warp” again! Another anthology of rollicking, thoughtprovoking tales by a star-studded array of top writers such as bestseller Mercedes Lackey and Eric Flint himself—all set in Eric Flint’s phenomenal Ring of Fire series.

A cosmic accident sets the modern West Virginia town of Grantville down in war-torn seventeenth-century Europe. It will take all the gumption of the resourceful, freedom-loving up-timers to find a way to flourish in a mad and
bloody time. Are they up for it? You bet they are. The fourth rollicking and ideapacked collection of Grantville tales edited and introduced by Eric Flint, and inspired by his now-legendary 1632. Plus: contains an all-new story by Eric Flint.

Stories by Eric Flint, David Brin, David Carrico, Virginia DeMarce, Charles E. Gannon and more.

About Eric Flint

Eric Flint was a bestselling American author and editor celebrated for his influential contributions to science fiction and alternate history. He is best known as the creator of the Ring of Fire series, which begins with 1632, a landmark novel that reimagines a modern American town transported to seventeenth-century Europe. The series became a cornerstone of the genre, praised for its blend of rigorous historical detail, political realism, and expansive world-building.

Flint's writing frequently explored themes of social change, technology, and collective action, often emphasizing how ordinary people shape history under extraordinary circumstances. In addition to his novels, he was a longtime editor at Baen Books, where he championed innovative storytelling and supported emerging voices in speculative fiction. His collaborative projects and open-universe approach helped redefine how shared-world series could evolve.

Known for his clear, energetic prose and idea-driven narratives, Eric Flint's work translates especially well to audiobook format, where the scope and momentum of his stories shine. His legacy endures through a vast body of work that continues to engage listeners who enjoy intellectually stimulating, history-rich speculative fiction.

Guess what? It's another Ring of Fire anthology!

Grantville, West Virginia, was suddenly transported to central Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years War, altering the course of history. Culture shock is the least of it, as up-timers (Grantvillers) and down-timers (e......more

Goodreads review by Beau on June 08, 2016

I like that whole uptime / downtime thing, and how the ideals of american democracy work like acid on feudalism / nobility and so on. It's kind of a great leveler - lifting the underclasses and lowering the upper classes. That's not always how it works in the real world, but the idea of a meritocrac......more
