Book Overview

The New York Times Best-Selling Series Continues Return to Grantville, the American town lost in time, as Heavy Metal Music, Power Mowers, Insider Trading, and the "Semper Fi" Attitude Bewilder and Subvert the Seventeenth Century Beyond Recognition.

After the West Virginia town of Grantville was unceremoniously hurled back through time to the 1630s, the seventeenth century would never be the same. Teenage capitalist girls have formed an investment group; a linotype operator, whose profession was wiped out by computers, finds a new life in an old century; a narrow gauge railroad, with a sit-down mower doubling as a locomotive, revolutionizes military transportation; the proud tradition of the U.S. Marines is started ahead of schedule among downtime Europeans; and what will the master musicians and composers of the pre-Bach era make of heavy metal sounds? Interwoven are factual articles on the problems of beginning an oil industry, building a machine gun, and starting up the manufacture of textiles centuries ahead of their time. All this and more in a new and absolutely indispensable volume for the many followers of the 1632 series.

Another hit from "Baen's Bar"!

Eric Flint's fourth edition of the Grantville Gazette continues the high quality of writing started with volume one. This edition contains ten new short stories by as many authors. In it we meet new characters and catch up with some we have met before. A fair mix of up timers who have come from the twenty first century to the seventeenth, and down timers who have come to see the wonders of the future. Even those who have not...

Another Excellent Edition of Grantville short stories

All of the stories in this edition of the Grantville Gazette were very entertaining, especially the stories that continued from the last edition. Eric Flint is to be commended for opening up his creation so that other writers can tell stories in this amazing universe.

Grantville Gazette IV

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of the 1632 universe created by Eric Flint. The short stories in this book help to fill in the background in the 1632verse and prepare you for the emerging new history in 1630's Europe. These stories will help you to better understand what is going on in the main story threads of the new universe. And I really enjoyed the stories for themselves.
