Publisher: Baen Books, February 2000. Publication Date: 2000. Binding: Hardcover. Book Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Signed: Signed by author. Edition: First Edition, Second Printing. About this title. When part of West Virginia is transported to 1632 East Germany during the Thirty Year's War, the new citizens repel marauding mercenaries, house German refugees, determine citizenship, and establish relationships and identities. From the Back Cover: FREEDOM AND JUSTICE -- AMERICAN STYLE. 1632 And in northern Germany things couldn't get much worse. Famine. Disease. Religious war laying waste the cities. Only the aristocrats remained relatively unscathed; for the peasants, death was a mercy. 2000 Things are going OK in Grantville, West Virginia, and everybody attending the wedding of Mike Stearn's sister (including the entire local chapter of the United Mine Workers of America, which Mike leads) is having a good time. THEN, EVERYTHING CHANGED. When the dust settles, Mike leads a group of armed miners to find out what happened and finds the road into town is cut, as with a sword. On the other side, a scene out of Hell: a man nailed to a farmhouse door, his wife and daughter attacked by men in steel vests. Faced with this, Mike and his friends don't have to ask who to shoot. At that moment Freedom and Justice, American style, are introduced to the middle of the Thirty Years' War.

The USE has know-how of 20th-century technology, but the American traditions of freedom and justice are having an even stronger impact on Europe, and the rulers of Europe are powerless to stuff the Grantville genie back into the bottle. Eric Flint is the author of the New York Times best seller 1634: The Galileo Affair (with Andrew Dennis) - a novel in his top-selling Ring of Fire alternate history series. His first novel for Baen, Mother of Demons, was picked by Science Fiction Chronicle as a best novel of the year. His 1632, which launched the Ring of Fire series, won widespread critical praise, as from Publishers Weekly, which called him "an SF author of particular note, one who can entertain and edify in equal, and major measure".

  • 1634: Ram Rebellion Free
    FREE 1634: RAM REBELLION PDF Eric Flint,Virginia DeMarce | 688 pages | 27 Nov 2007 | Baen Books | 9781416573821 | English | Riverdale, United States The RAM Rebellion (Ring of Fire, book 4) by Virginia DeMarce and Eric Flint The two Larkin "Birdie" Newhouse tales, along with two flashback vignettes by Flint, begin The Ram Rebellion ; all four are set in the weeks immediately after the Ring of Fire. In the Flint stories which are sandwiched around the Birdie tales, Mike Stearns goes back to school under the tutelage of Melissa Mailey. Stearns, newly elected Chairman of the Grantville Emergency Committeewishes to get a 1634: Ram Rebellion on likely complications from the local population. Mailey presents him with several very thick history books on European history in the era. Birdie Newhouse is a farmer, but most of his arable land was left behind by the Ring of Fire. The stories by Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett explore the alien land practices and ownership of down-time Germany as Birdie seeks to gain additional lands. Land sales are rare, the lawyers are in 1634: Ram Rebellion and there are three general levels of vested interest. There are the owners in fact of the lands. There are the tenants, who have certain rights and obligations over and above monetary rent, while leases are generally for three generations or 99 years, whichever is less. The claimants all have a say in the farm operation to some extent, as do the occupants of 1634: Ram Rebellion farm villages, which also have the right to 1634: Ram Rebellion or accept new co-farmers, for the land is farmed cooperatively with another set of obligations and entitlements.
