ADVENTURE SET TO THE MUSIC OF
TIME!
Time waits for no one, but
for the residents of 17th-century Europe, the future comes calling—ahead
of time! Due to a temporal disturbance known as the Ring of Fire, the
20th-century town of Grantville, West Virginia, finds itself transported through
time and space to Central Europe in the year 1632. Massive political and social
upheavals take place. But change happens on a smaller, human scale,
too.
In "The Flight of the
Nightingale" down-timer Francesca Caccini is inspired by the arrival of
Grantville to seek a different destiny from what would have been her lot in a
future without the up-timer intrusion—that is, to die with a reputation as
a brilliant composer and performer, but to later be essentially forgotten by all
but the cognoscenti. And in "Bach to the Future," Johann and his
brothers commit themselves to preserve, protect, and promote their
family's heritage from the future, even if in this future there will be no
Johann Sebastian Bach!
Two novels set
in Eric Flint's best-selling Ring of Fire series shine a light on the
overlooked corners of the Ring of Fire universe, where small actions can have
life-altering
consequences.
