An Exciting Installment in the New York Times Best-Selling Ring of Fire Series - the Most Popular and Best-Selling Alternate History Series

The Thirty Years' War continues to ravage 17th-century Europe, but a new force is gathering power and influence: the United States of Europe, a new nation led by Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden, and the West Virginians from the 20th century led by Mike Stearns who were hurled centuries into the past by a mysterious cosmic accident. While the old entrenched rulers and manipulators continue to plot against this new upstart nation, everyday life goes on in Grantville, the town lost in time, with librarians, firefighters, and garbage collectors trying to make do under unusual circumstances. And what better place for an undercover spy from France than working with the garbage collectors, examining 20th-century machines that others throw out and copying the technology (though he wishes one device - the paper shredder - had been left behind in the future)?

There are more sinister agents at work, however. One of them, Ducos, almost succeeded in assassinating the Pope, but his plan was ruined by quick action by a few Americans. Now, the would-be assassin not only has a score to settle but has also decided on two excellent targets: Grantville's leader, Mike Stearns, and his wife, Rebecca....

Great fill in.

If you have followed this series you are aware that the books have been released well out of timeline. At least 2 other books say something about the subject of this book, so it is great to get the rest of the story...

Love this Series...this book, enh.

I'm not sure any of the books in this series will ever reach the purr pleasure I experienced when I found first book. That said, this was an above average installment in the continuing saga.

if you don't love the series, I'd give it a pass. the characters are mostly pretty néw (although you will know them from prior books) and nothing exceptionally exciting happens.

Holy fuck why?

Ok the book was prett good I was enjoying it and then once a agian out of no where they drop another faget into the middle of the story and it just does not sit well. It honestly made me stop and go why would they even. Who thought this was a good idea from one of the characters we are suppose to like and respect. Considering how strong a role Biggetry plays in this book they should have considered if dropping and faget into casual conversation by one of the good guys was a wise choice. It doesn't set up anything or explore their own prejudices it's very black white they are bad and bigets we are good and tolerant so why the fuck would they drop faget into casual conversation.

Excellent

It was excellent story. Very informative and entertaining. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books. What a journey.

Excellent story a very compelling presentation

Again a great presentation the character development might be the best so far in the series. The only complaint might be that it's a little difficult to keep track of everyone.
