( ) A new collection of stories in Eric Flint et al's 1632/Ring of Fire universe. Grantville, West Virginia, was suddenly transported to central Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years War, altering the course of history. Culture shock is the least of it, as up-timers (Grantvillers) and down-timers (everyone native to the 17th century) forge a new reality. There are no bad stories here. Standouts include "71" by David Brin, which explores what might have happened to the people living where Grantville now stands; "Prison Break" by Walter H. Hunt, in which a different Man in an Iron Mask is accidentally broken out of prison; "Love Has a Wet Nose" by Walt Boyes and Joy Ward, about soldier finding a place where he can safely be himself; and "Scarface" by Flint himself, a sweet novella about his long-standing character Harry Lefferts finally meeting his match. Recommended, as is the whole series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
