Ring of Fire
 Return to the Alternate Universe of 1632 and 1633
as the
Top Writers of Alternate History and Military SF
Join Forces in the
Shared-Universe Volume of the Year
The battle between democracy and tyranny is joined, and the American
Revolution has begun over a century ahead of schedule. A cosmic accident
has shifted a modern West Virginia town back through time and space to
land it and its twentieth century technology in Germany in the middle of
the Thirty Years War. History must take a new course as American freedom
and democracy battle against the squabbling despots of seventeenth-century
Europe.
Continuing the story begun in the hit novels 1632 and 1633,
the New York Times best-selling creator of Honor Harrington, David
Weber, the best-selling fantasy star Mercedes Lackey, space adventure
author K. D. Wentworth, Dave Freer, co-author of the hit novels Rats,
Bats & Vats and Pyramid Scheme (both Baen), and Eric Flint
himself combine their considerable talents in a shared-universe volume
that will be a "must-have" for every reader of 1632 and 1633.

technology are again on view . . . [many readers] will turn every page and
cry for more, which the authors intend to provide." —Booklist
". . . Weber and Flint take historic speculation to a new level in a
tale [1633] that combines accurate historical research with bold leaps of
