Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond Issue #9

Join us for the latest issue of Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond, available 1 January 2025. Get ready for an action-packed and thought-provoking read with "Unintended Consequences," George Grant's profound in-universe look at what the Ring of Fire means. But be warned, it is also the unintended theme. 

Travel to the year 1632 and Beyond with us as we explore the consequences of the Ring of Fire. In Tim Sayeau's "Rose-Hip And Red Velvet," we continue Adina's adventures that started in "A Guest At The New Year" (Issue 6). Sir William and Dame Dorothy reply to Adina's letter, but will their correspondence bring joy or just the recipe for a few added pounds? 

But it's not all about Adina. In Marc Tyrrell's "Family Matters," we see that although the Ring of Fire didn't magically make family issues go away, it provided new—or old—ways of dealing with them. And in Garrett W. Vance's "The Rice Farmer's Daughter And The Samurai," a seemingly quiet shift of guard duty changes lives forever. 

But that's not all, folks. This issue also includes "Bremen Or Bust" by Terry Howard, a good yarn that sets up an upcoming storyline and showcases the love of a man and a town for an elderly school teacher. Originally published in Tales of Jimmy Dick by Ring of Fire Press, it sets up a future tale of Jimmy Dick and his clan. 

For those interested in the science behind the Ring of Fire, "X-Rays" by Iver P. Cooper explains how they work and what might be available in the new timeline.
