The Great Revolt is On!
Europe, 1634. With the example of future Grantsville, U.S.A., a small town thrown back in time by a cosmic accident, a peasant revolt becomes a revolutionary movement. You're from the future. You want the serfs to liberate themselves-but you also know what a bloodbath the French Revolution became. Avoiding that possibility will take all American horse-trading diplomacy you can muster. The stakes: an explosion that could cover half the continent in blood!
Alternate history master Eric Flint and exciting newcomer Virginia DeMarce fire another exciting volley in Flint's engrossing "Grantsville" chronicles.
"[W]itty, tightly written alternative history."
—Publishers Weekly on Eric Flint

Avoid DeMarce as Co-AuthorIt seems that every book with this co-author gets bogged down in details that no-one probably needs to know.
This happens to the point where the book is boring and easy to either skim or put down.Posted on

Couldn't even finish itThis is the worst Ring of Fire novel I read. So bad I finally put it down and eventually threw it away. It was a chick flick book with lots of names and personal relationships and no action. After this I refuse to buy any book by Virginia DeMarce. Too bad Eric let her write so many.

Product ReviewThis is a collection of short stories. Other readers who were expecting a novel have downrated it for not being a novel. That's a mistake, in my opinion. It's a good collection of short stories with some linking themes. Many of those short stories offer new styles and perspectives, which some reviewers have rated down for drawing from other genres. I like a few different genres and styles of writing, and enjoyed these.

Product ReviewAlmost impenetrable. It had a few good moments but not nearly as good as the earlier books. The author seemed to want to impress the reader with their vast knowledge rather than write and entertaining book. I've read the entire series and this is my least favorite.

Product ReviewIf you read the sequence of the series, why does it go backwords. Second, its all kitchen side chit-chat. And who gives a damn about some dumb sheep. Half the book if not more is about some exploits of sheep, ballet lessons, and dung opperations. The series is good, this book is trash.
