Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond Issue #8

Get ready for a wild ride of ongoing adventures in this issue! Four familiar faces return while two new ones make their debut in these six thrilling tales. Once we finish a story, our characters lives continue. Four stories bring back old friends while two are new ones you'll see again. In the romantic "How Lovely Are Thy Branches" (Garrett W. Vance), we find a Christmas tree on The Wonderland Isles, while ripples from prom lead to a new business in "Stilettos, Part 2" (Bethanne Kim). For Reed and Kathy Sue Burroughs, their romantic escapades continue in "A Week Together" (Bjorn Hasseler) as they savor time together between wars. But not all adventures are loving ones, as seen in "Rites of Passage" (Edith Wild) where Amalia von Herbert and Maggie Vogel face the aftermath of a cliffhanger from Issue 4. In "Emancipation and Education," Terry Howard tells the unexpected and heart-wrenching tale of a boy fighting to stay in school against his father's wishes. Finally, in Aaron Jamieson Greso's first 1632 story, "The Diablo Is In The Details," a simple task of buying compasses and selling a donkey turns into a bigger challenge than expected for a Portuguese merchant and a knight. Don't miss out on these gripping tales of ongoing adventures. If you enjoyed similar books like "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent," you won't be able to put this one down. Buy your copy now!
