About the Author:

Eric Flint is the co-author of three New York Times best sellers in his “Ring of Fire” alternate history series. His first novel for Baen, Mother of Demons, was picked by Science Fiction Chronicle as a best novel of the year. His 1632, which launched the Ring of Fire series, won widespread critical praise, as from Publishers Weekly, which called him “an SF author of particular note, one who can entertain and edify in equal, and major, measure.” A longtime labor union activist with a Master’s Degree in history, he currently resides in northwest Indiana with his wife Lucille.

From Booklist:

Flint’s normal unit of creation is the universe or, at least, world, realized in one capacious novel or, usually, more. This massive volume collects all the shorter stories set in his various worlds as well as in settings created by others, notably the space-faring future of David Weber’s Honor Harrington series in the 139-page “From the Highlands.” Some—the 1632 pieces, for example—have already appeared in adjuncts to that best-selling saga, such as Ring of Fire (2003). Others, including the pieces from the Joe’s World universe in which the fine and hilarious The Philosophical Strangler (2001) plays out, have the virtue of relative novelty, not to mention the other virtues that have come to distinguish Flint’s work, including an ability to draw on historical material to address serious ethical issues; fine action scenes; well-drawn or, as the situation dictates, well-sketched characters; and a zany sense of humor Flint doesn’t suppress. The swarms of Flint fans should make adding this to the shelves a foregone conclusion. --Roland Green
