New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling alternate history series. Book #18 in the Ring of Fire series created by Eric Flint.Eddie Cantrell, now married to the king of Denmark’s daughter, is sent by Admiral Simpson to the Caribbean to secure access to the most valuable commodity on that continent—not the gold and silver which the Spanish treasure, but the oil which up-time machines and industry need. The admiral has also provided Eddie’s small task force with the new steam-powered frigates that have just come out of the navy’s shipyards.Even with the frigates, a giant obstacle stands in his way: the Gulf-girdling Spanish presence in the New World. So a diversion is needed, carried out by an up-time car mechanic and a down-time mercenary colonel who also happens to be the last earl of Ireland. Their mission: grab the oil fields on Trinidad, and so distract the attention of Spain’s New World governors.While the Spanish galleons and troops head for Trinidad, Commander Cantrell’s smallest and fastest steam sloop will make a run to the Louisiana coast. There, her crew will wind their way up the bayous to the real New World prize: the Jennings Oil Field. But Cantrell’s plans could be wrecked in a multitude of ways. He faces often-hostile natives, rambunctious Dutch ship captains, allied colonies on the brink of starvation, and vicious social infighting that can barely be contained by his capable and passionate new wife. When the galleons finally come out in force to engage his small flotilla, Eddie will discover that the Spanish aren’t the only enemies who will be coming against him in a fateful Caribbean show-down.About Eric Flint’s Ring of Fire series:“This alternate history series is…a landmark…”—Booklist“[Eric] Flint's 1632 universe seems to be inspiring a whole new crop of gifted alternate historians.”—Booklist“…reads like a technothriller set in the age of the Medicis…”—Publishers Weekly

30 of 32 people found the following review helpful. A worthy addition to the series By Wizop I've read the whole series and I'm almost up to date with the 52 volume e-magazine. If you have been reading the series, you'll want to include this one. If you are new to the series, you'd be better off starting back at the beginning with 1632. Frankly, this book is good but doesn't have the magic or the first books but it also doesn't have the tedium of some of the recent ones. There is a bit too much dialog with far too much talking about strategy and a bit too little action. The real magic of this series has always been in the interplay of 20th century technology and values with 17th century expectations, and this book could use a little more of that. The good news is that this book is neither hopelessly bogged down in genealogy nor a repetition of stories already told in the e-magazine, and we've had both of those problems in the series recently.
21 of 25 people found the following review helpful. The characters are really not from the Ring of Fire series By pompack I found that the characters grated on my sensibilities since they had undergone a definite personality transplant from the previous books. In addition I found the text to be overly verbose and, bluntly, boring. And further, the various sub-plots are not just concealed from the various characters in the name of security; they are also concealed from the reader to the point that I often had no idea why this group or that was going from here to there.In spite of serous and determined effort, I was unable to finish this book. I set it aside for the fourth and final time at 87% complete.To put this review in perspective, I have read EVERY book in the series through 1635 inclusive at least twice and consider many of the works to be the finest examples of alternate history in the genre with the worst of them at least interesting and contributing to the overall ambiance of the series. Bluntly, this book does not warrant the "Ring of Fire) in the title. However, since it is there I gave the work two stars instead of one just for the title (including the witticism regarding C.S. Forester)
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Really enjoyed reading this book ... By Kindle Customer ... Not just as a sequel to 1632, but as a well written, well balanced novel in its own right.Unlike some of the earlier reviewers I thought the dialogue was very good, the political conversations intriguing and it was not lacking in action.Other reasons I enjoyed this book:- it takes more than a day to read- there is no page after page of silliness like Cantrell's love affair with his non-princess as in one of the earlier booksThe overarching theme of the 1632 series seems to be 'humaneness thru practicality.'
