1634 - The Baltic War

June 20th 2007 18:19

I just finished another book by Eric Flint and I enjoyed it just as much as the others I've read.

It continues the saga of the citizens of Grantville, WV which was moved from the current time back to 1632. The story picks up the main stories from where they were left in the 1633 novel

Still Here

It's been much too long since I wrote in my blog, and I apologize for my inattention. I've been trying to find ways to generate income on the internet, and I got tunnel vision. There is no excuse, but I'll let you know what's been going on in my life.

The past year has been very interesting. If you've heard that Chinese curse that wishes you interesting times, well that has been the story of my life for the past year. I could use a little boring

A Piece of West Virginia in Germany

September 18th 2006 13:42

I really enjoy Eric Flint's series about a piece of West Virginia transferred to 1632 into the middle of the 100 Years War. The story opens with a wedding in the small town of Grantsville, WV. Mike Stearns' sister is getting married to the son of wealthy parents who don't approve of their son's choice of wife.

During the reception, a bright light blinds everybody for a second and the electricity and phone no longer work. Mike is the President of the UMWA, and the members of the Union and the local police chief set out to check out what happened

Altered History -- A Look at What Could Happen

September 10th 2006 01:02

An alternate universe novel explores what our world might be like if an important event in history was changed or didn't happen. What would our world be like if Germany, Italy, and Japan won WWII? What if Columbus didn't discover America? If you give any writer an assignment and tell them they have to write about, let's say the Crusades, and change the outcome of this event for their story, every story would be different. This is what I find so fascinating about these stories.

Andre Norton wrote the first alternate universe story I read. In fact, she wrote the first SciFi book I ever read. She introduced me to SciFi and I still read and enjoy SciFi and Fantasy. I'm always looking for new authors to enjoy. I hope you'll share with me the authors you've read and liked. I'm hoping to have a discussion about the authors and their books.
