A cosmic accident sets the modern town of Grantville, West Virginia, down in war-torn seventeenth century Europe and a new nation is forged. Now when United States of Europe ally King Gustavas of Sweden invades Poland, the U.S. of E. is dragged into a full-scale European war against ruthless opponents. Meanwhile Mike Stearns, wily and courageous leader of the up-time West Virginians, has been turned out of office in an election. But, like Churchill (before and after him) Stearns is not done yet. He's determined to stoke the fires of democratic rebellion in Saxony near the main front, and thus keep the young nation he founded, and once led, out of the hands of medieval tyrants-tyrants who would like nothing better than to wipe those troublesome upstarts from the future off the timeline and go back to the bad old days of oppression and serfdom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Eric Flint's Ring of Fire series: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This alternate history series is...a landmark...\"-\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[Eric] Flint's \u003ci\u003e1632\u003c\/i\u003e universe seems to be inspiring a whole new crop of gifted alternate historians.\"-\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"...reads like a technothriller set in the age of the Medicis...\"-\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"...each new entry appears better than the previous one, a seemingly impossible feat...terrific.\" -\u003ci\u003eMidwest Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[C]ombines accurate historical research with bold leaps of the imagination.\"-\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451638219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.79h x 4.11w x 1.31d","brand":"Eric Flint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124434501813,"sku":"9781451638219","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4209e87e-81ba-41aa-bc49-f45a8b852f0b.jpg?v=1694552105","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/1636-the-saxon-uprising-9781451638219","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
