The USE has the know-how of 20th century technology  but the American traditions of freedom and justice is having an even stronger impact on Europe  and the rulers of Europe are powerless to stuff the Grantville genie back into the bottle. Virginia DeMarce  a trained historian and co-author of the New York Times best seller  1635: The Bavarian Crisis  continues the saga of the time-lost Americans as seen through the eyes of both Americans and Europeans  as the Americans try to make sense of the strange world into which they have been hurled  and the Europeans try to understand the abilities and behavior of the visitors from the future. The result is a volume that will be irresistible to the thousands of fans of the Ring of Fire series.  Praise for 1634: The Bavarian Crisis by Eric Flint and Virginia DeMarce: . . . fascinating reading. . . . It is especially refreshing to read an alternate history that doesnt depend upon the clash of anachronistic arms  but rather on how modern ideas of human rights  education  sanitation and law might have affected the Europe of the 30 Years War.
