1633

I really have gotten hooked on following the storylines of these characters. The first two books have been great. I really enjoy the mixing in of historical events and the interaction that Flint and his co-writers create between these famous historical figures and the Grantville "Uptimers". I am having to READ the next book 1634 since I can't get it on audible :-(. Please get the rest of this series online ASAP.

Vince Flynn is my favorite author.
These to guys are my number two and three.
I am now in desperate need of the next novel.
Wonderfully written, great audio performance, ( I would listen to George Guidall narrate the directions on a bottle of soap).
Just buy, you will love these books.

Eric Flint returns with his second book in the Ring of Fire series and this time he brings his #1 collaborator David Weber. Anyone that follows Sci-Fi knows that these two are some of the biggest hitters in the genre. They have teamed up for multiple best sellers and their books get some of the best reviews in the business. Eric Flint brings his knowledge of history and his graphic imagery, while David Weber brings his no nonsense writing of churning out great fiction to create this masterpiece. If 1632 was Flint's solo masterpiece, 1633 is his collaborative masterpiece. By this time we have travelled far afield from the actual events of history, but Flint and Weber stay true to the time period and nature of the real life characters to bring us a truly epic tale of historical science fiction. Try and keep up as we travel the world of the 30 years war in all of it's facets. Political intrigue, diplomatic foibles, battlefield strategy, and human ingenuity make this work a truly pleasurable read for sci-fi fans and history buffs alike.

George Guidall is back and brings his A game. In this continuing adventure of the Ring of Fire the cast expands and Guidall answers with his trademark vocal thespianism. He brings the work of Flint and Weber to life.

The book is really good and i know you will like it.

But since there are many more books in the series already out, i dont see the reason why we have to wait so long for the next books, it has been months. Audible really needs a way to update us on target dates for these books.

Since audible is owned by Amazon, I see no reason why they cant link audible books to the reviews to the books in Amazon. This would really help where there are few or no reviews here. It would also give us an idea about the number and order of the books in a series. I've mentioned this a couple years ago and there appears to be little action. I apologize to all of you expecting a book review, I just felt like venting a little to audible. hope they read these reviews.

I've reread the core books in the series several times. I was thrilled when I saw that Audible had the first two. I hardly ever write reviews, but if there is a chance the rest of the series will show up on Audible, I vote Yes!

Having fun while learning a bit of history.

The narrator did an awesome job with all the characters. If I had to choose one, I'd say Mike Stearns

Hans

I already know what happens next, but I'd like to hear it.

Not having read the first book, I was in the dark for a bit, but I became engrossed in the story and didn't want to start over. It took about 3/4 chapters to figure out what was happening, then it took off. As usual, George Guidall did an excellent narration. His woman's voices develop a distinctive pitch so the story moves without abrupt change. I even enjoyed the draggy parts because each one was a great set up for what was to come.

This is the sequel to the incredibly popular 1632 (see separate review), which has spawned an entire community of writers who have expanded this alternative history into an enterprise of remarkable proportions (all of these books and the materials on the web site are collaborations, which does lead to some unevenness of writing). The sequel has all of the same strengths of the first book (solid work on the history, great concept, snappy writing, excellent performance by Guidall), but sadly it has the same faults, which actually become magnified here. The events are even more predictable, the characters are even more stereotypical, and there just isn’t anything to provoke thought or even surprise, especially if you already know something about the actual history of the period. It does tie up a few loose ends from the first novel, but at its conclusion there is no doubt where it’s all going. The first book, 1632 was worth the time, but for me at least, 1633 really wasn’t. I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could for story.

When well audible get the rest of the series

Please get the rest of the books

Gannon and Flint blend their characters into the historical panorama the way Obrian does with character depth and a realistic picture of war with his classic sea novels. Add a bit of Conneticut Yankee in King Arthurs court and you have the picture. The books so far are well thought out with a good deal of gee wiz and a huge battle but not enough exposure to make each tedius. Great Narration. Lots of listening hours for the money. I just bought 1635. Can't wait to hear.

The story was disjointed and confusing ,perhaps if I had the book in hard copy I could easily refer to the story and characters and keep things in order

Loss of characters and no easy way to return to find them

Yes George is a fine narrator and does well with the story. I am going listen to the book again in couple of weeks , I will pay very close attention to the story hopefully it will be better the second time around

confusion and disapointment

Hopefully this makes sense to some one
