Description: When a cosmic disturbance hurls your town from 20th century West Virginia back to 17th century Europe--and into the middle of the Thirty Years War--you have to adapt to survive. And the natives of that time period, faced with American technology and politics, need to be equally adaptable. Here's a generous helping of more stories of Grantville, the American town lost in time, and its impact on the people and societies of a tumultous age.
Notes: These are stories, selected from the Grantville Gazette magazine, that fill in the pieces of the Ring of Fire series begun with Flint's novel "1632". -- jacket.

This eighth volume has stories selected from issues 31-45 of the electronic magazine. -- Preface.
