TWO SHORT NOVELS SET IN ERIC FLINT'S BESTSELLING RING OF FIRE
SERIES from David Carrico, co-author of 1636: The Devil's Opera, and
The Span of Empire.
ADVENTURE SET TO THE MUSIC OF TIME!
Time waits for no one, but for the residents of 17th-century Europe, the
future comes calling--ahead of time! Due to a temporal disturbance known
as the Ring of Fire, the 20th-century town of Grantville, West Virginia,
finds itself transported through time and space to Central Europe in the
year 1632. Massive political and social upheavals take place. But change
happens on a smaller, human scale, too.
In "The Flight of the Nightingale" down-timer Francesca Caccini is
inspired by the arrival of Grantville to seek a different destiny from
what would have been her lot in a future without the up-timer
intrusion--that is, to die with a reputation as a brilliant composer and
performer, but to later be essentially forgotten by all but the
cognoscenti. And in "Bach to the Future" Johann and his brothers commit
themselves to preserve, protect, and promote their family's heritage
from the future, even if in this future there will be no Johann
Sebastian Bach!
Two novels set in Eric Flint's best-selling Ring of Fire series shine a
light on the overlooked corners of the Ring of Fire universe, where
small actions can have life-altering consequences.
