Full Description
Book #14 of Eric Flint's New York Times and Wall Street Journal
best-selling alternate history series, Ring of Fire.
Eddie Cantrell, now married to the king of Denmark's daughter, is sent
by Admiral Simpson to the Caribbean to secure access to the most valuable
commodity on that continent — not the gold and silver which the Spanish
treasure, but the oil which up-time machines and industry need. The admiral has
also provided Eddie's small task force with the new steam-powered frigates
that have just come out of the navy's shipyards. Even with the frigates, a
giant obstacle stands in his way: the Gulf-girdling Spanish presence in the New
World. So a diversion is needed, carried out by an up-time car mechanic and a
down-time mercenary colonel who also happens to be the last earl of Ireland.
Their mission: grab the oil fields on Trinidad, and so distract the attention of
Spain's New World governors.
