It's not an easy task, to put it mildly, even if they have a tacit alliance with the co-regents of Alexander's empire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For the regents have plenty of enemies, too. Cassander is using every foul means available to turn Macedonia and Greece into his own empire. The brutal general Antigonus One-Eye is doing the same in Mesopotamia. And Ptolemy, the cleverest of them all, is expanding his Egyptian realm to the Red Sea. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Things aren't any easier in the colony that passengers from the cruise ship founded on the Caribbean island of Trinidad.

Hopefully, that will lead to a bright new future. If it doesn't kill everyone first. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout Eric Flint's Ring of Fire Series: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This alternate history series is . . . a landmark . . .\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"[Eric] Flint's 1632 universe seems to be inspiring a whole new crop of gifted alternate historians.\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \". . . reads like a technothriller set in the age of the Medicis . . .\" --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Flint\u003c\/b\u003e was the creator of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebest-selling Ring of Fire series, the best-selling alternate history series of all time. Beginning with \u003ci\u003e1632\u003c\/i\u003e, Flint--along with dozens of cowriters--chronicled what happened when the 20th-century town of Grantville, West Virginia, was transported through time and space to 17th-century Europe. In addition, Flint was the author, with \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebest seller David Weber, of the Crown of Slaves Saga, as well as the Belisaurius series, with best-selling author David Drake.

Before becoming a writer, Flint worked as a trade union organizer, longshoreman, truck driver, auto worker, steel worker, oil worker, meatpacker, glassblower, and machinist. Eric Flint passed away in 2022. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaula Goodlett\u003c\/b\u003e retired from the military as a noncommissioned officer in the early nineties. She broke her leg in 2003, which led to her browsing Baen's Bar lest she become bored during her enforced inactivity. Captivated by the 1632 universe concept, she began as a special assistant to Eric Flint. She eventually wrote a large important sequence of the storyline in \u003ci\u003e1634: The Ram Rebellion\u003c\/i\u003e. She was editor of the \u003ci\u003eGrantville Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e and chairs the 1632 Editorial Board.
