Ring of Fire by Eric Flint
4.0
Themes: technology, religion, war, politics, family
Setting: the New United States and Prague 1632
This is a collection of several different stories about the Ring of Fire world started with the book [b:1632|16967|1632 (Assiti Shards, #1)|Eric Flint|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166765511s/16967.jpg|1172297]. Eric Flint invited several authors to write their own stories using the characters and setting he created. I was surprised by this, especially because he says he plans to incorporate their ideas into the rest of the series. History is something that happens to a LOT of people, he says, and he didn't just want to know what happened to the few characters he created, but to lots and lots of people. I thought it was a fun idea, and I enjoyed this collection. Some of the stories that dealt with religion were a little too boring for me, but I enjoyed most of them.
