The Thirty Years War continues to ravage 17th century Europe, but a
new force is gathering power and influence: the Confederated
Principalities of Europe, an alliance between Gustavus Adolphus,
King of Sweden, and the West Virginians from the 20th century led
by Mike Stearns who were hurled centuries into the past by a
mysterious cosmic accident. Inspired by the example of American
freedom and justice, a movement in Franconia among the peasants,
who have revolted several times even before the arrival from the
future of the town of Grantville, an independent revolutionary
movement has arisen, flying the banner of the head of a ram. The
West Virginians fully approve of liberating the peasants from the
nobility, but they are also aware of how revolutionary movements
can lead to bloodbaths. And avoiding that deadly possibility will
require all of their future knowledge and all their plain old
American horse-trading diplomacy. . . .
