- A new addition to the multiple New York Times bestselling Ring ofFire series! After carving a place for itself in war-torn 17th centuryEurope, the modern town of Grantville, West Virginia continues its quest forsurvival. A Grantville resident helps Russia modernize, but he in turn must dealwith 1600s Russian culture and politics — or wind up dead! 1636.Grantville has bounced back and established its new mission and identity, but itseems some have been left behind — people like Bernie Zeppi, courageous inthe battle, but unable to figure out what to do with himself in a worldthat’s utterly changed. Then Russian emissary Vladimir Gorchacov arrivesin Grantville and hires Bernie to journey to Moscow and bring the future to aRussia mired in slavish serfdom and byzantine imperial plots. Bernie jumps atthe chance. He figures it to be an easy gig, complete with high pay andhot-and-cold running women. But one thing Bernie hasn’t counted on is thechance to find his purpose in Mother Russia, from fighting the needless death ofchildren from typhoid to building the first dirigible in Russian history. Andthen there’s love. Just as Bernie realizes his feeling for a certainRussian noblewoman may have gone way beyond respect, he finds them both enmeshedin the deadly politics of Kremlin power struggles.
