Summary
THE BEST-SELLING RING OF FIRE SERIES CONQUERS THE
NEW WORLD!
It has taken almost five years for the United States of
Europe to stabilize its position in 17th-century Europe. Now
it turns its attention to the New World, where the English
have ceded their colonial claims to France. There are vast
lands and rich resources across the Atlantic for any
nations powerful enough to rule and control them—and
equal incentive for other nations to block their path. The time-displaced Americans know about the future path
that led to their own United States in North America, in the
other universe they came from. But do they want to repeat
that history as it was? Yes, they had democracy—but
they are helping to create that in Europe. And they have
learned the bitter prices paid for chattel slavery and the
near-extermination of the native populations. Knowledge is power. Perhaps a new course can be taken.
Accordingly, an expedition is sent to the New World to see
just what might be happening there and what might be
done. They are armed with their technology, among which are a
radio and an airship. More importantly, they are armed with
the knowledge of future history and their determination not
to repeat the errors of their past. What could possibly go wrong?
