Butterflies.
Revisado: 04-30-23
My view is that each story attempts to explain the erratic flight of a single butterfly within a cloud of similar insects. Even if you grant that each creature used rational thought to plot the first swoop, the probability that subsequent moves were foreseen and planned approaches nullity . Together, these stories do not because they cannot provide or predict the course of butterflies. I find the entire series engenders similar erratic behavior but not in a bad way. Time flows in a constant, predictable manner, but history does nothing of the sort and trying to explain history in short, rational bursts (novels and short stories) inevitably leaves bits out that just as certainly confuses and can disappoint the reader. Despite the confusion, I enjoyed this as ten others in the series so far, because each story explained something in a different novel or anthology that I had forgotten, skipped over, or not understood. Forget trying to predict the flight of individual much less the entire swarm of butterflies; just enjoy the experience and if you are like me revisit it from time to time to learn something new.

A cosmic accident sets the modern town of Grantville, West Virginia, down in war-torn 17th century Europe, and a new nation is forged. Now, when United States of Europe ally King Gustavas of Sweden invades Poland, the US of E is dragged into a full-scale European war against ruthless opponents. Meanwhile Mike Stearns, wily and courageous leader of the up-time West Virginians, has been turned out of office in an election. But, like Churchill before (and after) him, Stearns is not done yet.

Best to Date
Revisado: 11-20-22
Plenty of daring-do and the wry sense of humor has you chuckling most of the time. Character and plot developments continue which just enhance the experiece. My only criticisms is that one can’t easily tell which title is next in the series but that is mostly an Audibles formatting issue.

Though the Thirty Years' War continues to ravage 17th-century Europe, history as it once happened has been strongly deflected by the new force that is rapidly gathering power and influence: the United States of Europe, an alliance between Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, and the West Virginians from the 20th century, led by Mike Stearns, who were hurled centuries into the past by a mysterious cosmic accident - the Ring of Fire.

Little People & Good and Evil Little Things
Revisado: 11-16-22
Not much military daring do; a cast of little people doing good or evil little things; a slow trek to the end but that end makes it worth the slog. I hope to experience more of these people in future volumes.
