it took until the last 4 hours to get to the main plot line.
I know this is a 20 book storyline with all its sidestories and such. makes sense when one event takes nearly the entire book to get to.

great sequel

loved the follow up to 1632. although great, I don't think I'll get the next in the series.
the narrator is my favorite and everything I've heard him in was very good.

I love this series

It’s an interesting concept and I love the view points. It’s 100% an American point of view.

When is the next book coming out????

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.

About time

What did you love best about 1633?

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!

What did you like best about this story?

Having fun while learning a bit of history.

Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?

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

Who was the most memorable character of 1633 and why?

Hans

Any additional comments?

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

You need to read the first book.

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.

Blended into an alternativ history but not shaken.

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.

Second Book Of My Favorite Series

George Guidall gives a wonderful performance. He breaths life into my favorite cast of characters.

Good

I like its just as good of a read as I thought that it would be

Audible Get the Rest of This Series Online!

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.
