Short Synopsis: FROM THE BACK COVER: Return to Grantville, The American town
lost in time. 1632 is the first volume in this the Ring of Fire series.
ISBN: 0-7434-8860-1
Long Synopsis: FROM THE BACK COVER: Ed Piazza, the Secretary of State of the
small United States being forged in war-torn Germany during the Thirty Years
War, has a problem. A religious conference has been called in nearby
Rudolstadt, and religious freedom is at stake, threatened alike by intransigent
theologians and students rioting in the streets. As if that weren't bad
enough, a Calvinist "facilitator" from Geneva is maneuvering to get the U. S.
involved with a revolutionary movement in Naples. Virginia DeMarce's "The
Rudolstadt Colloquy" is just one of the stories in the Grantville Gazette. In
others, Eddie Cantrell, before he won glory and lost a leg in battle, learns
lessons in life and marksmanship from a Vietnam war tunnel rat; four American
teenagers launch a new industry in the fact of adult skepticism; and much more,
including a new short story by Eric Flint, plus factual articles written by
some of the people who developed the background for the novels 1632 and 1633.
Notes: The copyright has been verified by a sighted person. This book
contains many words and names from the German language.
