Both the United States of Europe and the Kingdom of Bohemia have come to Austria's assistance but everyone knows it is going to be a long, brutal struggle. General Mike Stearns proposes opening up a second front in the Levant which the USE's emperor Gustavus Adolphus approves. Meanwhile, Poland is coming to a boil. Gretchen Richter, newly elected chancellor of Saxony has seized control of Lower Silesia and plans to form an alliance with the Polish revolutionaries. And the Bohemians send an army led by Morris Roth to aid them as well. Additionally, Mike Stearns send an army division under the command of Jeff Higgins to reinforce his wife Gretchen in Silesia. The maelstrom grows. Will it drag all the displaced Americans and their allies down with it?"--… (más)

Poland politics are coming to the fire and things are getting more interesting. More of Mike Stearns' long term plans are becoming visible. He laid very long term plans. The personalities are interplaying interestingly. ( )

This is not a good place to start the series.

That said, this book wove several main characters’ stories back together so we could see some interaction. Mike and Rebecca, Jeff and Gretchen, Julie and Alex, and many others make appearances both together and apart. There are three different battlefields with perhaps eight different armies!!

...and that becomes part of the problem with reading the later 1632 series novels. The cast list goes for pages. You need to take notes if you seriously want to know who is where, when.

I enjoyed this more than some of the other novels in the series. It’s a bit less finicky and technical with “who’s who” than previous. ( )

A splendid addition to this excellent and sustaining series. Your vocabulary and sense of history about things Polish are about to expand. Europe at this time is a chessboard filled with Queens, King, knights, castles, and pawns plotting and making moves that will produce a different history than the one we know...The politics of empire, kingdom, and state-building provide Flint with the opportunity for a nudge here and a twitch there that will reverberate down the years. His knowledge of the history and its players enable him to produce a new symphony from its former notes. ( )
