1634: The Ram Rebellion
by Eric Flint and Virginia DeMarce

The Great Revolt is On!

Europe, 1634. With the example of future Grantsville, U.S.A., a small town thrown back in time by a cosmic accident, a peasant revolt becomes a revolutionary movement. You're from the future. You want the serfs to liberate themselves-but you also know what a bloodbath the French Revolution became. Avoiding that possibility will take all American horse-trading diplomacy you can muster. The stakes: an explosion that could cover half the continent in blood!

Alternate history master Eric Flint and exciting newcomer Virginia DeMarce fire another exciting volley in Flint's engrossing "Grantsville" chronicles.

 

"[W]itty, tightly written alternative history."
—Publishers Weekly on Eric Flint

Not horrific, but nowhere near the standards of the main thread books.

Much more interesting that all the tales about the "bigwigs"

3. Steven on 6/2/2008, said:

I gave this three stars because knowing it is a collection of stories, the disjointed way it feels is understandable. Virginia DeMarce's writing style however is terrible. I find it difficult to follow and the character development is lacking. Overall, the only reason I finished the book, is I know it lays the ground work for future stories in the series.

4. Robert on 5/10/2008, said:

I enjoyed this book a lot. It's somewhat disorganized, and it doesn't have the action and fast pace of some of the other collaborations (which I did miss), but it is interesting and well-written. I read almost all the other books of the series first, partly because of the negative comments by some readers. But I think it is worth reading, and in fact, very clever. It is almost a "Great" rating, and I'm giving it a "Good" -- my opinion only -- only because the many pieces of it aren't that well organized. I do recommend it highly.

5. David on 12/20/2007, said:

I sometimes have trouble with Virginia DeMarce's prose. She relies too much on dialogue to convey the story and not enough description or narrative. Still, this book was a fascinating study of how a revolution might come about. The character of the ram (the human one, not Brillo) was quite interesting, along with the Lutheran priest. Although it did get a bit tedious in the middle, the ending made it worth while. Definitely a good idea to keep the map and list of characters handy.

Okay, maybe it wasn't the greatest book in the series, but I liked it. The situations with the sheep were funny, I loved the ballet sections, I could take or leave the ram rebellion. The best parts of the book were when the human parts of history were displayed. It didn't have great impact on world events, but a great deal on a few people and places. I would actually like to see another one like this, but maybe not hardcover.

A collection of loosely connected short stories nowhere near as good as 1632 or 1633. They should have made this a Grantville Gazette special.

9. Jon on 5/31/2007, said:

I found the book slow, boring, and completely uninteresting. I've been glued to this series since the first book but this one was so awful that it put me off reading two subsequent books and the anthologies for months. It read like a boring history of bureaucracy. The entire thing could have been summed up in about a five page short story and still been uninteresting. I read that this story started as a couple of unrelated short stories. They should have stayed as such.

10. John on 5/6/2007, said:

I found it hard to slog through this. I'm sure that a lot of research went into it, but it just did not hold my interest. Perhaps because there was no technology involved. Perhaps because it just seemed like not much was accomplished. I read this series not to learn about the personalities of people from WV, but because of the interaction of technology and knowledge. This was pure politics.
