Publisher's summary

THE NEW WORLD FALLS INTO THE RING OF FIRE. All new stories set in the Ring of Fire series, edited by New York Times best-selling series creator Eric Flint.

Europe, 1632. It is a time of upheaval and great change. But none so great as when an unexplained temporal and spatial phenomenon known as the Ring of Fire transports the blue collar town of Grantville, West Virginia, smack dab in the middle of the Thirty Years War. When the dust settles, it becomes clear that the town of Grantville isn't going anywhere, and the can-do Americans of the twenty-first century begin altering the course of history forever.

It is now five years later, and the effects of the Ring of Fire reach from the Old World to the New. But the course of exploration and colonization will look much different than it did in our timeline. The French bought the English possessions in North America way back in 1633, but have never done much with the uncivilized backwater. Until the new king of France, Gaston I, decides that it's time to seize the territory and establish French control over it.

Here then, a new anthology, edited by Ring of Fire series creator Eric Flint, chronicling the exploits of the citizens of Grantville, their allies, and their enemies, as they venture forth onto a new continent.

It’s all coming together

An riveting story, told by an excellent narrator, and by compelling authors.
It’s fantastic to see all of the plot lines weaving together to come to this point, and the tapestries of personalities that make up the early 17th century coming together in amazing (yet believable) ways.
5/5 stars, can’t wait for the next installment!

The End ?

Eric's last book, and when I heard the prologue I didn't expect much. I'm not fond of the multiple story books, but this worked out a little better than I thought it would. I wasn't so much interested in what was happening in New Amsterdam, but I did enjoy his overly optimistic view regarding the Native Americans, and how the English colonists finally realize they need to start treating the savages a little better than they have been.

on a 1-10 scale where Devil's opera is a 1, and 1632 is a ten this is a solid 7, maybe 7.5.

Another awesome book !

A fantastic piece of storytelling . Contributors often make all the difference in these stories . When I first heard about Eric Flint passing away on July 17 2022 I was devastated ! Yet he lives on like MR . Been of Baen’s publishing . I’m great-full to audible for continuing to create content from the 1632 series . I get to listen while doing physical activity . It’s my fondest hope that all of his great works are taken up by audible .

Connecting stories, resisting the French

I felt immense satisfaction at the conclusion of this book. The editor and several authors did a great job, portraying the Algonquin tribes and various colonial settlers. Not only did all the stories fit well together, but we see several old 1634 characters from previous books appear. I hope you enjoy this as much as me.

An important addition to the 1632 universe.

This anthology addresses the North American theater of the 1632 series as a whole and progresses the plot considerably while remaining interesting and humorous.

My only complaint is that the audio quality is a big step down from previous entries. I'm not sure why.

Stop these short stories

I love the series. Have bought every book. These books of short stories ruin the experience. They leave you hanging and there’s never a follow up
