Airships, Clockwork Assassins—and a Universe to Save!

London 1888.  His Majesty’s airships troll the sky powered by antigrav liftwood as a cabal of Iron Lords tightens it hold on a Britain choked by the fumes of industry. And somewhere far to the east, the Old Man of the Mountains plots the end of the world with his Forever Engine. Enter Jack Fargo, former special forces operator in Afghanistan. Fargo is a man on a mission:  save the future from destruction when the Forever Engine is brought to full power and blows the timeline to smithereens.

The Ring of Fire Saga Continues!

Another thrilling entry in the best-selling Ring of Fire series, created by Eric Flint. By 1636, the time traveling impact of an American town thrown back to the 17th century stretches across two great oceans. Daring pioneers cross the Atlantic and found a new colony on the Wild Coast of South America, determined to avoid a slave economy by using up-time knowledge. In Japan, new technology breaks centuries of isolation and a nation emerges into an enlightened era two centuries early, but not without upheaval and conflict.
