1636

The Saxon Uprising

By: Eric Flint

Narrated by: George Guidall

Alternate history master Eric Flint returns in top form with an epic addition to the multiple New York Times best-selling Ring of Fire series.

After carving a place for itself among the struggling powers of 17th-century Western Europe, the "out-of-time" modern town of Grantville, West Virginia, must fight for its life against Dark Age domination.

A cosmic accident sets the modern town of Grantville, West Virginia, down in war-torn 17th century Europe, and a new nation is forged. Now, when United States of Europe ally King Gustavas of Sweden invades Poland, the US of E is dragged into a full-scale European war against ruthless opponents. Meanwhile Mike Stearns, wily and courageous leader of the up-time West Virginians, has been turned out of office in an election. But, like Churchill before (and after) him, Stearns is not done yet. He's determined to stoke the fires of democratic rebellion in Saxony near the main front and thus keep the young nation he founded, and once led, out of the hands of medieval tyrants - tyrants who would like nothing better than to wipe those troublesome upstarts from the future off the time line and go back to the bad old days of oppression and serfdom.

The best of the 1632 sequels

It doesn't get any better, the cast the production,
the story, the gentle humor, most of all it makes the german people appealing and fun.

Still The Best

This is one of my most favorite authors, narrated by one of the best orators I’ve heard.

Listen to them all!

Series is worth continuing to hear, but not binging*

& listen at fast speed in talking-head scenes. Those scenes are crucial, but not scintillating. Kudos to Eric Flint—a master writer who has himself another nice series. Review by Rick, April 26, 2018

Yes, that is “binge-ing”, not “bing-ing”
as in Crosby** or cherries.

**a mid 20th century singer who crooned***

***a smooth way of singing or talking

goid

I liked that it was split up into two separate books. was good story. ok

Best to Date

Plenty of daring-do and the wry sense of humor has you chuckling most of the time. Character and plot developments continue which just enhance the experiece. My only criticisms is that one can’t easily tell which title is next in the series but that is mostly an Audibles formatting issue.
