  • An Alternate History Sampler.

    The "Ring of Fire" series of books has, over the previous of years, produced a rather substantial and intriguing body of work. The transplanted West Virginia community of Grantville isn't the only world being turned topsy-turvy. The Europe of the 1630s (and, more and more, the world beyond it) is facing an existence which is radically changing before its eyes. Within this series the "Ring of Fire" anthologies stand out by providing small yet intriguing episodes, rather than full-fledged novel-length stories. Incidents of the Grantville "up-timers" co-existing with the natives of the 17th century resulting in a variety of results (up to and including romance). Favorites in this collection include: an up-time girl trying to raise a sunken vessel in Gunnar Dahlin and Dave Freer's "Diving Belle" . . . an up-time musician facing her first major concert in David Carrico's "Command Performance" . . . and Eric Flint's novella, "The Austro-Hungarian Connection", dealing with the pursuit of a small group actually wanting to defect from Grantville for parts unknown. As with all good anthologies there's something for everyone here.
