Let's do the "Time Warp" again!

Another anthology of rollicking, thought-provoking tales by a star-studded array of top writers such as bestseller Mercedes Lackey and Eric Flint himself—all set in Eric Flint’s phenomenal Ring of Fire series.

After a cosmic accident sets the modern-day West Virginia town of Grantville down in war-torn seventeenth-century Europe, these everyday Americans must adapt—or be trod into the dust of the past.

Rock on, Renaissance! It will take all the gumption of the resourceful, freedomloving up-timers to find a way to flourish in the mad and bloody end of medieval times. Are they up for it? You bet they are. Find out what happens in this third
rollicking and idea-packed collection of Grantville tales edited by Eric Flint and inspired by his now-legendary 1632.

He received a bachelor's degree from UCLA in 1968 and did some work toward a Ph.D. in history, with a specialization in history of southern Africa in the 18th and early 19th centuries, also at UCLA. After leaving the doctoral program over political issues, he supported himself from that time until age 50 as a laborer, machinist and labor organizer. In 1993, his short story entitled Entropy and the Strangler won first place in the Winter 1992 Writers of the Future contest. His first novel, Mother of Demons, was published in 1997 and was picked by the Science Fiction Chronicle as a best novel of the year. He became a full-time writer in 1999. He writes science fiction and fantasy works including The Philosophical Strangler and the Belisarius series. George Guidall is one of the most prolific narrators of audiobooks in the world.

He received an Obie Award for Best Performance Off-Broadway, and has continued his performances in theater for over 40 years. Guidall has also appeared on television, with roles on the soap "One Life to Live" and "Law and Order," and in movies such as "Malcolm X" and "Tales from the Darkside." His first job reading audiobooks was for the Library of Congress' American Foundation for the Blinds' Talking Books. Since then he has won the most prestigious Audiobook Award, the Audie Award, for Best Unabridged Narration of a novel for his recording of John Irving's "A Widow for One Year." He won the Audie again in 2000 for Wally Lamb's "I Know This Much is True."
