1633 By:Eric Flint

Theme so far,

           The theme of 1633 so far is much the same as the first book in the series, The town of Grantville, Pennsylvania, has been transported back in time in some kind of time rift to the 17th century.  Throughout this time period the world is rife with war and disease as well as financial crisis.

The previous book capitalized on the fact that the united states created by the town of Grantville is in eh middle of Germany complicates the story a little bit but Grantville tries to emulate the way the united states that they remember worked and its values.


             The United states created by the town of Grantville turned into a political and economic hot spot. This is shown in many spots throughout the book. "Mike Sterns and his policies had turned Grantville and the country surrounding it into one of the few areas in central Europe which were economically booming and had a growing population. A rapidly growing one in fact." this quote shows that with the current president Mike Sterns and how he has helped the U.S. of the 17th century grow and prosper.




Here is an article on the book's series.
