Full Description
1636. Grantville has bounced back and established its new mission and
identity, but it seems some have been left behind — people like Bernie
Zeppi, courageous in the battle, but unable to figure out what to do with
himself in a world that's utterly changed. Then Russian emissary Vladimir
Gorchacov arrives in Grantville and hires Bernie to journey to Moscow and bring
the future to a Russia mired in slavish serfdom and byzantine imperial plots.
Bernie jumps at the chance. He figures it to be an easy gig, complete with high
pay and hot-and-cold running women. But one thing Bernie hasn't counted on
is the chance to find his purpose in Mother Russia, from fighting the needless
death of children from typhoid to building the first dirigible in Russian
history. War with Poland is afoot and Russia itself is about to get a revolution
from within — three centuries early. Bernie Zeppi, former Grantville auto
mechanic, is going to have the chance to prove he's not the loser he
believed himself to be. For now Bernie's task is to save the woman he
loves and the country he has come to call his own from collapse into a new Dark
Age!
