Ring of Fire II — Eric Flint

GRANTVILLE: THE AMERICAN TOWN LOST IN TIME

A mysterious cosmic force -- the "Ring of Fire" -- has hurled the town of Grantville from 20th century West Virginia back to 17th century Europe, and into the heart of the Thirty Years War. With their seemingly magical technology, and their radical ideas of freedom and justice, the time-lost West Virginians have allied with Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, to form the United States of Europe, changing the course of history -- in ways both small and large. Time-lost Americans struggle to survive in a turbulent era, made more so by their arrival, as the New York Times best-selling alternate history epic continues.
