Fight for Freedom in a Dark and Bloody Age!
After a cosmic accident sets the modern West Virginia town of Grantsville down in war-torn seventeenth century Europe, the United States of Europe is forged in the fire of battle. The Baltic War reaches a climax as France, Spain, England, and Denmark besiege the U.S.E. in the Prussian stronghold of Lubeck. The invention of ironclads, the introduction of special force tactics during a spectacular rescue operation at the Tower of London – the up-timers plan to use every trick in the time traveler's book to avoid a defeat that will send Europe back to a new Dark Age!
Multiple New York Times best-seller and creator of the legendary "Honorverse" series David Weber teams with New York Times best-selling alternate history master Eric Flint to tell the tale of the little town that remade a continent and rang in freedom for a battle-ravaged land in the latest blockbuster addition to Flint's "Grantsville" saga!
"This is a thoughtful and exciting look at just how powerful are the ideals we sometimes take for granted, and is highly recommended[.]"
— Publishers Weekly on Flint and Weber's 1633.
"[R]eads like a Tom Clancy techno-thriller set in the age of the Medicis…"
— Publishers Weekly on New York Times best-seller, 1634: The Galileo Affair.

Product ReviewNot a bad read, though it does tend to get a little convoluted.
It seems that the series starts to go downhill after this & The Galileo Affair.Posted on

Product ReviewA nice continuation of 1633. Sometimes it feels like there are too many parallel plots that it is hard to keep track, but mostly it is just an exciting read.

Product ReviewDisappointing. None of the pace, interest or genuine charactertsaiions of the first books in the series. Except for one storyline, it reads like it was written by a researcher instead of a writer. The historic details of each character are listed whether they matter or not, as if the writers wanted to prove how much research they had done. Slow and boring.
