Book synopsis

National Best Seller in Trade Paperback . A new addition to the multiple New York Times best-selling Ring of Fire series. After carving a place for itself in war-torn 17th century Europe, citizens of the modern town of Grantville, West Virginia, the up-timers and their allies take on continental America and the Japan!§§A cosmic catastrophe, the Ring of Fire, strands the West Virginia town of Grantville in the middle of Europe during the Thirty Years War. The repercussions of that event transform Europe and, in a few years, begin spreading across the world. By 1636, the Ring of Fire's impact is felt across two great oceans, the Atlantic and Pacific.§§Stretching Out : The United States of Europe seeks out resources -- oil, rubber and even aluminum ore - to help it wage war against the foes of freedom. Daring pioneers cross the Atlantic and found a new colony on the wild coast of South America. The colonists hope that with the up-timers' support and knowledge they can prosper in the tropics without resort to Indian and African slavery. Then a slave ship visits the colony, seeking water.... and the colonists must make a fateful choice.§§Rising Sun : In 1633, the wave of change emanating from the Ring of Fire reaches Japan. The Shogun is intrigued by samples of up-time technology, but it's a peek at what fate had in store for Japan in the old time line that has the greatest impact -- setting events in motion whose tremors are felt thousands of miles away and for years to come, as Japan pulls back from a policy of isolation and stakes out its own claim in the brave new world created by the Ring.§§About 1636: Seas of Fortune :§"... expand[s] the Ring of Fire universe into new or previously limited geography and culture. "Stretching Out" includes seven excellent entries mostly in South America and the Caribbean built on real events but with a nice Grantville twist. "Rising Sun" contains five terrific tales ... also built on real events enhanced by historical speculation but with a nice Grantville twist." - Alternate Worlds§§About Eric Flint's Ring of Fire series:§"This alternate history series is...a landmark..." - Booklist§§"[Eric] Flint's 1632 universe seems to be inspiring a whole new crop of gifted alternate historians." - Booklist§§"...reads like a technothriller set in the age of the Medicis..." - Publishers Weekly
