It included one story from electronic issue 5 and selected stories from electronic issues 12 through 17. Contents. Original Stories [ edit | edit source ] "The Masque" [ edit | edit source ] Timeframe: Late 1635 in Amsterdam; all but the last two sections take place on the same day. (No date is given, but the events are referenced in a later story that does give a date.) A self-exiled Ben Jonson, who may be showing signs of early-stage dementia, attempts to write a masque based on an assortment of up-time odds-and-ends he received from Grantville, with no great success. Thomas Wentworth and his co-conspirators learn that George Monck, as well as three other men who had played key roles in the English Civil War, had been executed in England. They also learned that Karl Ludwig, who they had seen as their best option to replace Charles I, had converted to Catholicism, which effectively removed him from succession. A rehearsal for Jonson's masque is disrupted by assassins who had been been indirectly hired by Richard Boyle, and sent to kill Wentworth, John Hampden, and Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex. However, the attackers are unfamiliar with masques, and are confused because most of the people in the room, including two of their targets, are wearing masks. The unmasked Deveraux is recognized and killed at once. An unidentified "tall fellow" is shot and presumably killed, possibly in the belief that he is Wentworth, but Wentworth himself is not shot at. Hampden, who may have been recognized by his hair, is shot in the shoulder. His wife is killed by a second shot meant for him, and he is spared from further shots by the intervention of Rupert Stuart. Jonson is killed when he stumbles in front of an assassin just as he is firing at Rupert. Note: As described, the fight at the rehearsal appears to have been both fast-moving and brief. It is unlikely that any of the characters involved has the full picture of it that is available to the reader. Also, they have no definite evidence of Boyle's involvement, though that is revealed to the reader.

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".

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.
