A collection of stories of varying lengths focusing on people that are mostly side characters in the first couple of books in the 1632 series, but may well, I don't know, become important characters of their own eventually. Flint recommends reading this book right after 1632, but says that it also works reading it afterwards. As a compromise I read both at the same time and that also works. Despite being a collection of short stories by different authors, the style is not that different. I don't know if the stories are edited, but it feels like the authors are coming together and complementing each other. If you enjoy the series and the story, well worth a read. Read a few stories which I found extremely dull so didn't bother with any more - the 1632 universe is definitely not for me.

The battle between democracy and tyranny is joined, and the American Revolution has begun over a century ahead of schedule. A cosmic accident has shifted a modern West Virginia town back through time and space to land it and its twentieth century technology in Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years War. History must take a new course as American freedom and democracy battle against the squabbling despots of seventeenth-century Europe. Continuing the story begun in the hit novels 1632 and 1633, the New York Times best-selling creator of Honor Harrington, David Weber, the best-selling fantasy star Mercedes Lackey, best-selling SF and fantasy author Jane Lindskold, space adventure author K. D. Wentworth, Dave Freer, co-author of the hit novels Rats, Bats & Vats and Pyramid Scheme (both Baen), and Eric Flint himself combine their considerable talents in a shared-universe volume that will be a "must-have" for every reader of 1632 and 1633.

That being said, I was going to give this three stars (technically competent, but unimpressive), but the novella at the end (The Wallenstein Gambit) is just long enough to actually get somewhere, and it's a good ride the whole way through. ( )
