Resumen del Editor

The Baltic War which began in the novel 1633 is still raging, and the time-lost Americans of Grantville - the West Virginia town hurled back into the seventeenth century by a mysterious cosmic accident - are caught in the middle of it.

Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden and Emperor of the United States of Europe, prepares a counter-attack on the combined forces of France, Spain, England, and Denmark - former enemies which have allied in the League of Ostend to destroy the threat to their power that the Americans represent - which are besieging the German city of Luebeck.

Elsewhere in war-torn Europe, several American plans are approaching fruition. Admiral Simpson of Grantville frantically races against time to finish the USE Navy's ironclad ships - desperately needed to break the Ostender blockade of the Baltic ports. A commando unit sent by Mike Stearns to England prepares the rescue the Americans being held in the Tower of London.

In Amsterdam, Rebecca Stearns continues three-way negotiations with the Prince of Orange and the Spanish Cardinal-Infante who has conquered most of the Netherlands. And, in Copenhagen, the captured young USE naval officer Eddie Cantrell tries to persuade the King of Denmark to break with the Ostender alliance, all while pursuing a dangerous romantic involvement with one of the Danish princesses.

Favorite 1632 book

My favorite, hands down. Good story plot,, nice addition of new characters, and best of all, a very great reader.

A Key Ring of Fire Title Fun Read

Of the Ring of Fire Books this is one of the most important. This is full novel written by the originators. It introduces and fleshes out key characters and events that set the scene for almost every ROF and Grantville Gazette story. Given the number of accents and settings these books are tough work for narrators, I overlooked that in my earlier critcism, although I stand behind my opinion, you can't buy better work than this commercially with this material.

Perhaps some some charitable souls will produce the Grantville Gazette for the Blind and Audible will pick it up.

The Revolution continues

A brilliant exciting story with perfect narration. This book sets up even more adventures in the Ring of Fire .

A well crafted universe 😎🤘

Well developed characters, in an imagined history of “what if”?
The narrator does a superb job of capturing the listener’s attention. Looking forward towards the next installment.

Great taste of history

This series really gives a great overview of European history which most of us missed in college. The time travel adds a great perspective. I'll stick with the series.

Loved it!

I love this series. please keep going never let the Universe end. keep it going

continuing on

This series is simply addictive. read them or listen on Audible you will find yourself soon so engrossed that time simply fades away.
Honestly to get the full understanding of this series, I firmly believe that these books should be read and or listened to in order to be truly enjoyed.

Entertainmenting

We’ll preformed well written good story line and I will read the next one if I can figure out which one that is

Entertaining

While the story is more than strong enough to keep attention the performance is underwhelming

love the series

more pro Americanism and fun alt history.

some smaller tech issues and a sprawling story are making it hard to follow as time goes on though
