Description: Book #21 in the multiple New York Times best-selling Ring of Fire series. The uptimers and their allies take on the Ottoman Empire at its height of power.The modern West Virginia town of has been displaced in time to continental Europe in 1632. Now four years have passed. The long-feared attack on Austria by the Ottoman Empire has begun. Armed with new weapons inspired by the time-displaced Americans of Grantville, the Turks are determined to do what they were unable to do in the universe the Americans came from: capture Vienna.The Ottomans have the advantage of being able to study the failings and errors of their own campaigns in a future they can now avoid. They are led by the young, dynamic, and ruthless Murad IV, the most capable emperor the Ottomans have produced in a century. They are equipped with weapons that would have seemed fantastical to the Turks of that other universe: airships, breech-loading rifles, rockets—even primitive tanks.And this time they won’t have to face massive reinforcements from Austria’s allies. In fact, the only force Emperor Gustav Adolf can think of sending to Austria is the United States of Europe Third Division under the command of Mike Stearns. It’s an army currently engaged in a desperate struggle for Bavaria.The emperors of the USE and Austria share the same problem. They have one too many enemies, one too few allies, and only one general to cover the gaps. Fortunately, that general is Mike Stearns, also known as the Prince of Germany.About 1635: A Parcel of Rogues:The 20th volume in this popular, fast-paced alternative history series follows close on the heels of the events in The Baltic War, picking up with the protagonists in London, including sharpshooter Julie Sims.

I was extremely happy with this entry in the 1632/Ring of Fire series. It picks up where the Dresden crisis left off, and adds Tom and Rita Simpson back into the main story line again.My only criticisms are that its a bit predictable at times, and that the build-up lasts significantly longer than the action. This has been a problem in the last few novels (most notably The Cardinal Virtues, set in France), but, here, the characters are by now well-drawn, and its enjoyable seeing Mike Sterns, Rebecca Abranel, Gretchen Richter and her husband Jeff, Tom & Rita Simpson, Thorsten Engler, and all the rest--just go through their daily lives.More specifically, I should also mention that, like most Ring of Fire books, the book isnt so much a tightly-plotted story as a detailed account of what happened to various characters throughout the year. Personally, I dont mind this, though, since the characters are fun and interesting. The dramatis personae is getting extremely long, though, so a lot of characters are getting left out of the main plot thread or having their roles significantly curtailed: Prince Ulrik, Princess Kristina, Caroline (Thorstens betrothed), Admiral Simpson & his wife, USEAF head Jesse Woods, secret agent Harry Lefferts, the Roths, the Stones, everyone in Amsterdam and England and Grantville--the list goes on. Hopefully future entries in the series will tell us more about what happened to them.I should also mention that there is currently a significant formatting error in the Kindle edition, which is quite distracting. About half-way through the book, all of the text changes to italics, and stays that way for the remainder of the story. It happens when Tom Simpson is thinking about the sign on a cathedral door, which is block-quoted. This is the main reason my review is 4 stars, in addition to my more spoiler-y criticism below.Minor Spoilers Ahead:My favorite part is when Gretchen Richter invades and captures a portion Poland with the assistance of two Polish spies, who originally had no intention of helping her.My least favorite part concerned Ottomans the capture of Vienna, which was handled in a very abrupt manner, with surprisingly little reaction from the other characters. I did like the depiction of the POV of the sultans soldiers, but it often felt like the Ottomans were intentionally depicted more as an alien threat than as fellow down-time human beings--making the Ottoman scenes occasionally take on racist or Islamophobic overtones. Was Sultan Murad really more of an inhuman monster than Tilly, Wallenstein, the Cardinal, etc.? I have no idea, but this depiction just felt a bit off to me. This is the other reason why I couldnt give 5 stars.
