The last one was just too long and boring though. The non fiction pieces were interesting and provides a lot of context into the world that Eric Flint has started. ( ) (Alistair) Really, my first thought here was that I could probably just duplicate my Ring of Fire review here, being a very similar book in the exact same universe. And, really, my comments on the short stories contained therein are basically the same as the prior review, with the addition that contrary to my expectations - particularly as, as noted in the introduction, two of the stories herein were originally submitted for Ring of Fire, I think the mean quality of the writing is actually slightly higher. On another additional note, the factual essays making up the last third of the book were fun. I do particularly enjoy worldbuilding, myself, and while the authors here are working with the existing world as it was, nevertheless a good description of the world the characters have to deal with is something I shall always read with pleasure. ( http://weblog.siliconcerebrate.com/cerebrate/2009/04/grantville_gazette_ed_eric_... ) (Amy) Honestly, I don't have much to say about this that I didn't say about Ring of Fire earlier. It's a fascinating concept, and I remain unsurprised that dozens of people want to play with it. (I could wish that when they decided to collect the fanfic-class works for publication they had performed a rather deeper editing pass than they appear to have done, and eliminated the overwhelming proliferation of sentence fragments, but I suppose one cannot have everything.) Some of the stories are excellent, a couple are good in concept but the writing is bad enough to have been a low-grade distraction throughout their length, and some read like chapters out of textbooks. About par for the Assisti Shards universe course, really. Still, I like the world enough that I'll keep reading, even these collections, which the smart money says will always be the lowest average quality of all the works in this particular shared universe. Mildly recommended, but mostly for completists. ( http://weblog.siliconcerebrate.com/zenos-library/2009/06/grantville_gazette_i_ed... ) apparently enough of these were sold for followups. Me? I got the free download. Mostly first time authors writeing fanfic in Eric Flints 1633 universe. just about all read like fanfic.There is also an interminably long essay on horses then and now. Which I here by sumarise as follows..There are no decent heavy horses in 1633. None of the modern horses would be hardy enough for work in the period. If they are lucky the Uptimers might have one decent stud animal. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Grantville, formerly in West Virginia in the 20th century, now in Germany in the 17th century, is the most unusual town in the world-and probably in any century. The mysterious cosmic phenomena which the former West Virginians call the "Ring of Fire" hurled the town back through time into the middle of the Thirty Years War. In spite of their advanced technology, the men and women of Grantville are greatly outnumbered and must deal carefully with the squabbling local tyrants-but they have no shortage of American courage and ingenuity. Eric Flint, a bright new star of science fiction and creator of the Ring of Fire universe, now presents a book of new fiction about the heroes of Grantville, as well as articles examining the problems of maintaining 20th century technology in the 17th century. (Can you make penicillin from bread mold? To conserve your limited supply of gasoline, can you use literal horsepower to run a dynamo? Can you make a radio using 17th century glassware and metallurgy?) The Grantville Gazette is a fascinating exercise in alternate history and imagination and will be a must-buy for everyone who read 1632 and 1633. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
