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.

There was no food. Disease was rampant. For over a decade religious war had ravaged the land and the people. Catholic and Protestant armies marched and countermarched across the northern plains, laying waste the cities and slaughtering everywhere. In many rural areas population plummeted toward zero. Only the aristocrats remained relatively unscathed; for the peasants, death was a mercy. 2000 Things are going OK in Grantville, West Virginia. The mines are working, the buck are plentiful (it's deer season) and everybody attending the wedding of Mike Stearn's sister (including the entire membership of the 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 small group of armed miners to find out what's going on. Out past the edge of town Grantville's asphalt road 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 Iying screaming in muck at the center of a ring of attentive 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.

D.

[many readers] will turn every page and cry for more, which the authors intend to provide." - Booklist. In the year 1635, the Rhineland is in turmoil. The impact of the Ring of Fire, the cosmic accident which transported the small modern West Virginia town of Grantville to Europe in the early seventeenth century, has only aggravated a situation that was already chaotic. Perhaps nowhere in central Europe did the Thirty Years War produce so much upheaval as it did in the borderlands between France and Germany. Archbishop Ferdinand of Cologne shares the religious fanaticism of his older brother, Duke Maximilian of Bavaria. He is determined to restore the power of the Catholic Church over the middle Rhine, the so-called “Bishop’s Alley,” and has unleashed a plot for that purpose. But that same middle Rhine is territory which Landgrave William V of Hesse-Kassel is determined to seize for himself, under the guise of expanding the influence of the United States of Europe. Add to the witch's brew the deaths in battle of Duke Wolfgang of Jülich-Berg and his son, which leaves his young widow Katharina Charlotte as the heir to those much-prized territories. She is now on the run, in disguise—and pregnant. Add the unexpected arrival of Austria’s most capable general, Melchior von Hatzfeldt, along with the most ruthless spy and torturer in the Rhineland, Felix Gruyard. The wars for the Rhine have erupted, and only the devil knows how they will end. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About Eric Flint’s Ring of Fire series: “This alternate history series is . . . a landmark . . .”— Booklist. “[Eric] Flint's 1632 universe seems to be inspiring a whole new crop of gifted alternate historians.”— Booklist. The new government in central Europe, called the Confederated Principalities of Europe, was formed by an alliance between , King of Sweden, and the West Virginians led by Mike Stearns who were transplanted into 17th-century Germany by a mysterious cosmic accident. The new regime is shaky. Outside its borders, the Thirty Years War continues to rage. Within, it is beset by financial crisis as well as the political and social tensions between the democratic ideals of the 20th-century Americans and the aristocracy which continues to rule the roost in the CPE as everywhere in Europe. Worst of all, the CPE has aroused the implacable hostility of Cardinal Richelieu, the effective ruler of France. Richelieu has created the League of Ostend in order to strike at the weakest link in the CPE's armor¾its dependence on the Baltic as the lifeline between Gustav Adolf's Sweden and the rest of his realm. The greatest naval war in European history is about to erupt. Like it or not, Gustavus Adolphus will have to rely on Mike Stearns and the technical wizardry of his obstreperous Americans to save the King of Sweden from ruin. Caught in the conflagration are two American diplomatic missions abroaRebecca Stearns' mission to France and Holland, and the embassy which Mike Stearns sent to King Charles of England headed by his sister Rita and Melissa Mailey. Rebecca finds herself trapped in war-torn Amsterdam; Rita and Melissa, imprisoned in the Tower of London. And much as Mike wants to transport 20th-century values into war-torn 17th-century Europe by Sweet Reason, still he finds comfort in the fact that Julie, who once trained to be an Olympic marksman, still has her rifle . . .
