A NEW NOVEL IN ERIC FLINT'S LANDMARK RING OF FIRE SERIES CONTINUING
THE EASTERN EUROPE STORYLINE EXPLORED BY FLINT IN 1637: THE POLISH
MAELSTROM.
Up-timer Morris Roth and his Grand Army of the Sunrise stand at a
crossroads. Military success against the Polish-Lithuanian magnates has
all but guaranteed a continued push east into Ruthenian lands. There,
Roth hopes to further his Anaconda Project so that tens of thousands of
Jews are not slaughtered in what's to become known as the Chmielnicki
Pogrom of 1648.
An envoy from Transylvania arrives with a promising offer from its
prince, who wishes to form an alliance with Bohemia, but the land
shrouded in the fog of the Carpathian Mountains--and known only to most
up-timers as the playground of Count Dracula--is a vassal state of the
Ottoman Empire. Such an alliance would surely draw the ire of Sultan
Murad IV.
The United States of Europe agrees to assist the Bohemian forces, and
sends in the Silesian Guard, under the command of Brigadier Jeff
Higgins. They also send in Gretchen Richter to organize and lead the
political struggle.
Transylvania is thrown into political, social, and religious turmoil as
battle lines are drawn. Whatever happens and whoever wins the fight, one
thing is certain: the history of Eastern Europe will change radically.
In fact, it already has.
