Very entertaining. If one accepts theoriginal (fantasy) premise, very plausible. Contains a lot of real (as opposed to alternative) history. (  )1   TanyaRead | Mar 12, 2022 |  Imagine contemporary West Virginians being plopped down in 17th century Bavaria. It's an intriguing idea to play with, and this is the first of a long series, written by many authors who continue the story.

Chapter two - a bunch of rape. I don't think this book is for me. (  )1 sarcher | Jul 25, 2021 | As other books by Flint, this is a very positive, optimistic and simple book. The good are good. The bad are bad. The good is stronger than the bad. Still, it's an entertaining book enough and the premise is interesting. An alien race playing with space and time moves a 6 mile sphere out of 1990s West Virginia into 1631 Germany, in the middle of the 30 year war. We get to follow some of the West Virginians and a few of the native people they meet as they struggle (mostly with firearms and internal combustion engines) to make a safe space for themselves. For the Swedes there is also a bit of watching back to the days of Swedish empire building ambitions. ( ) bratell | Dec 25, 2020 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

FREEDOM AND JUSTICE -- AMERICAN STYLE 1632 And in northern Germany things couldn't get much worse. Famine. Disease. Religous war laying waste the cities. Only the aristocrats remained relatively unscathed; for the peasants, death was a mercy. 2000 Things are going OK in Grantville, West Virginia, and everybody attending the wedding of Mike Stearn's sister (including the entire local chapter of the United Mine Workers of America, which Mike leads) is having a good time. THEN, EVERYTHING CHANGED.... When the dust settles, Mike leads a group of armed miners to find out what happened and finds the road into town is cut, as with a sword. On the other side, a scene out of Hell: a man nailed to a farmhouse door, his wife and daughter attacked by men in steel vests. Faced with this, Mike and his friends don't have to ask who to shoot. At that moment Freedom and Justice, American style, are introduced to the middle of the Thirty Years' War. Comprehensive Teacher's Guide available. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
