Eric Flint bibliography
This is complete list of works by American science fiction and historical fiction author Eric Flint. Bibliography. Belisarius series. Written in collaboration with David Drake, the series features historical characters, including Roman general Belisarius, whom the authors present as possibly the best general to ever walk the earth. Novels in the series include: Assiti Shards universes. The Assiti Shards refers to a literary mechanism which exchanges one volume of space-time with another. This manifests as both a time-swap and place-swap for the two places affected. The literary technique can be read about in detail  in Assiti Shards effect, but when it first reached print in "1632", the technique spawned a huge surge of fan interest which is continuing to grow now well over twelve years later. Flint had at least two other milieus planned utilizing the mechanism in 2000, but because of demand for works in the "1632 universe", he temporarily shelved them through the period 2001–05. They were known to be in production for some intervals in some part and manner in 2005–06, but the death of Jim Baen or other projects has apparently delayed them. A second Assiti Shard effects tale, "Time  Spike", was published in 2008 with a third Assiti Shard effects tale, "The Alexander Inheritance", following in 2017. In the late winter of 2005–06, Baen started listing all the 1632-verse books under the umbrella series title Assiti Shards series and continues to do so, after previously listing them under Ring of Fire, for the only series thus far published, so "1632" (numbering 10 works in print, thirty Gazettes (XXX came out in October 2010) and climbing rapidly bi-monthly) is currently listed on Baen's under the pseudo misnomer "Assiti Shards series", of which there are (will be) four  milieus planned, not just the original. Yet Amazon and Barnes and Noble lists "Ring of Fire" for some books in the series, and "Assiti Shards series" for others. As of early October 2007, the series name of the "1632 books" is still confused; Barnes and Noble has seemingly grouped them under "Ring of Fire series", Amazon and other web sellers are mixed, and the book covers of the last six hardcover releases avoid the question entirely on the dust jacket and artwork. At the moment, we use the term "1632 series", and other books in the series can be reached  via that main article or by the navigation strip at the page bottom. The 1632 series. Once also known on the internet as the 163"x" series, Baen for a time called the "Ring of Fire series", and it is as frequently called the "1632 Universe" or 1632verse; however it is named, it is a best-selling success. The alternate history series starts when the inhabitants of a small town in the United States find themselves transported back to Central Germany, in the late spring (May) of 1631 with no way back. The first book title results because while the tale  builds in 1631, the climax occurs when events in the Thirty Years' War nearly overrun the town in 1632. Queen of the Seas series. The two book Queen of the Seas series is about a 21st century cruise ship that is transported back to 4th century BCE Mediterranean just after the death of Alexander the Great. Other Assiti Shards universes. Other "Assiti Shards" universes which share only the time travel mechanism, but not the setting of the 1632 universe include the following novels:
