Inhaltsangabe

While the Thirty Years War rages on, a new force emerges in central Europe - the Confederated Principalities of Europe. This is an alliance between King Gustavus of Sweden and the West Virginians, led by Mike Stearns, who were hurled into 17th-century Germany by a mysterious time warp.

Críticas:

"[A] worthy sequel to the well-received 1632 . . . thoughtful and exciting . . . highly recommended. . . ." "[Readers] of Flint's 1632 will see its strengths in its sequel right from the beginning. . . . The same formidable historiography, wit, balance (there are few stupid bad guys--well, England's Charles I), intelligently ferocious women, and mouth-watering displays of alternate technology are again on view . . . [many readers] will turn every page and cry for more, which the authors intend to provide." ." . . Weber and Flint take historic speculation to a new level in a tale that combines accurate historical research with bold leaps of the imagination. Fans of alternate history and military sf should enjoy this rousing tale of adventure and intrigue."

Reseña del editor:

Key Selling Points- David Weber is the brightest star in the new century's science fiction firmament. His best-selling Honor Harrington novels top all the charts and his thousands of readers grab every book with his name on the cover.- Weber's recent War of Honor was a hardcover general best seller on the New York Times (#8), New York Daily News (#7), Wall Street Journal (#10), Publishers Weekly (#7), and online and chain booksellers' lists. His previous Honor Harrington novel, Ashes of Victory, was also a smash hit national best seller.- Eric Flint is a gifted new star of fantasy and science fiction. His alternate history novel, 1632, is a strong seller in mass market, with an 88% sellthrough, and strong critical praise, as from Publishers Weekly, which called it "gripping and expertly detailed." Everyone who read 1632 will be anxiously awaiting the arrival of this sequel in paperback.- Flint's collaboration with fantasy mega-star Mercedes Lackey and Dave Freer, The Shadow of the Lion, has made his name known to Lackey's large audience.
