Synopsis

In "1634: The Baltic War," the epic saga of the modern American town of Grantsville, West Virginia, hurled through time to 17th-century Europe, reaches a thrilling crescendo. The fledgling United States of Europe, forged in the fires of an anachronistic alliance, faces its greatest test as the combined might of France, Spain, England, and Denmark lay siege to the critical Prussian stronghold of Lubeck. With the future of an enlightened Europe hanging by a thread, the resourceful 'up-timers' unleash every trick from their advanced era. From the deployment of ironclads on ancient waters to daring special forces operations, including a spectacular rescue mission at the Tower of London, they battle to prevent a defeat that would plunge the continent back into a new Dark Age. This installment, a collaboration between best-selling authors Eric Flint and David Weber, is a high-stakes blend of military strategy, political intrigue, and time-travel ingenuity, showcasing how a small town can redefine the course of a continent and ignite the flames of freedom.

Critical Reception

"Praised by Publishers Weekly for its thoughtful exploration of powerful ideals and comparison to a 'Tom Clancy techno-thriller set in the age of the Medicis,' this book stands as a significant entry in the acclaimed 1632 series."
