The mysterious comic phenomena which the former West Virginians call the Ring of Fire hurled the town of Grantville back through time into the middle of the Thirty Years War. In spite of their advanced technology, the men and women of Grantville are greatly outnumbered- but they have no shortage of American courage and ingenuity. Eric Flint, creator of the Ring of Fire universe, presents a book of new fiction about the heroes of Grantville, as well as articles on the problems of bringing their technology to the 17th century. (Can you make penicillin from bread mold? Can you use literal horsepower to run a dynamo? Can you make a radio using 17th century glassware and metallurgy?) The Grantville Gazette is a fascinating exercise in alternate history and will be a must- by for everyone who read 1632 and 1633.

The uptimers and their allies take on the Ottoman Empire at its height of power.The modern West Virginia town of Grantville 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.

Zher AnfangVon Kindle-KundeNach einem zhen Anfang und extrem gewhnungsbedrftigem Stil endet das Buch auf fast gewohntem Niveau. Deswegen leider nur zwei Sterne.3 von 3 Kunden fanden die folgende Rezension hilfreich. Eine Fortsetzung vor einer Fortsetzung - trotzdem spannendVon ScimitarFr David Weber noch ausstehend ist die Frage, ob es ihm denn auch gelingen wird, eine seiner Serien zu einem logischen und befriedigenden Ende zu fhren oder ob er in der ewigen Fortsetzung versinkt. Auch wenn dieser Band als Fortsetzung des "Crown of Slaves"-Spin Offs verkauft wird reiht er sich doch nahtlos in die Handlung ein. Das erspart dem Leser auch die stndigen Wechsel des Handlungsortes wie bei der "Nimue Alban"-Serie und auch die Namen kann man sich merken.Zur Handlung (Spoilerfrei): Zumindest auf der Seite von Manticore ist mittlerweile die Existenz des "Alignments" von Mesa bekannt, dazu aber recht wenig Details.

Decent juvenile/young adult/light reading. Interesting ideas, no plot beyond 'crash on alien planet and how to survive.'By AlinDecent juvenile/young adult science fiction; ie., no cussing, sex, battles, existential dilemnas. An idealized family gets stranded on a strange planet in the first few pages, then you're told how they survive and adapt for rest of the book. Interesting ideas for the alien planet, but the limitation of the plot starts get repetitious by halfway. Do not expect any resolution to their situation. I was also annoyed when on the last page the authors throw a out a surprise hook - it's obviously meant to be a series. A second annoyance, partially my fault, was that the blurbs imply this is a book is part of the "Boundary Series." It's not. It's in the "Boundary Universe" since much time has passed since the Boundary trilogy and it's a completely different character.
