Ring of Fire by Eric Flint
3.0
this was a mixed bag of stories. I liked most of them, but there were a few duds.
Highlights for me were the contributions by Mercedes Lackey, S. L. Viehl, Eric Flint (Naturally), David Webber, and a few others.
"Here Comes Santa Claus," by K. D. Wentworth, though... That was a hot freaking mess. May I never read another story where the comedy comes from the pregnant woman being too unobservant to notice that the guy she's haranguing is actually pretty dangerous. Most of what the authors did as far as characterization of the Grantville folks was inoffensive, but damn, Julie McKay deserved so much better.
