THIS NEW NOVEL IN ERIC FLINT’S LANDMARK RING OF
FIRE SERIES CONTINUES THE EASTERN EUROPE STORYLINE EXPLORED
IN 1637: THE POLISH MAELSTROM
Up-timer
Morris Roth and his Grand Army of the Sunrise stand at a
crossroads. Military success against the Polish-Lithuanian
magnates has all but guaranteed a continued push east into
Ruthenian lands. There, Roth hopes to further his Anaconda
Project so that tens of thousands of Jews are not
slaughtered in what’s to become known as the
Chmielnicki Pogrom of 1648.
An envoy from
Transylvania arrives with a promising offer from its prince,
who wishes to form an alliance with Bohemia, but the land
shrouded in the fog of the Carpathian mountains and known
only to most up-timers as the playground of Count Dracula is
a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire. Such an alliance would
surely draw the ire of Sultan Murad IV.
The
United States of Europe agrees to assist the Bohemian
forces, and sends in the Silesian Guard, under the command
of Brigadier Jeff Higgins. They also send in Gretchen
Richter to organize and lead the political struggle.
Transylvania is thrown into political, social, and
religious turmoil as battle lines are drawn. Whatever
happens and whoever wins the fight, one thing is certain:
the history of Eastern Europe will change radically. In
fact, it already has.
