It's great to be back! After a one-year hiatus, Eric Flint's 1632 Universe has a new short-fiction venue (aka magazine). In this world, the small West Virginia town of Grantville is thrown back in time to 1631, landing in war-torn Thuringia, Germany. The town scrambles to ensure that it survives and thrives, and helps others do the same in this fantastic new world, as it forms alliances, spreads unfamiliar technology and ideas far and wide, and faces down powerful enemies. Will their efforts be enough to make the world a better place? Join us in the 1632verse and find out!We are delighted to share the return of long-term contributors (Iver Cooper, Virginia DeMarce, Garrett W. Vance), relative new-comers (George Grant, Chuck Thompson), and even an old friend from the early days (S.M. Stirling).
