DescriptionTHE 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.
In 1632, an unexplained temporal and spatial phenomenon known as the Ring of Fire transported 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 twentieth century begin altering the course of history forever.
Five years later, the effects reach from the Old World to the New, but the course of exploration and colonization looks much different than it did in our time line. The French bought the English possessions in North America in 1633, but didn't do much with the uncivilized backwater, and now the new king of France, Gaston I, wants to seize the territory and establish French control over it.
