1635

In this gripping installment of the New York Times Best-Selling Ring of Fire series, the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War in 17th-century Europe intensifies as the United States of Europe, led by Gustavus Adolphus and the time-displaced West Virginians under Mike Stearns, rises to prominence. Amid these developments, the everyday lives of Grantville's residents unfold, with a French undercover spy blending in among garbage collectors to exploit outdated technology. Meanwhile, dark forces plot against Grantville’s leadership, as a would-be assassin seeks revenge after disrupting a failed attempt on the Pope's life.
