Corrente Boldly shrill ... http://www.correntewire.com/node/12714/atom/feed 2008-08-10T09:12:28-04:00 First review: 1632, by Eric Flint http://www.correntewire.com/first_review_1632_by_eric_flint 2008-08-10T01:31:27-04:00 2008-08-10T09:12:28-04:00 Sarah Reading is my second favorite indoor sport. It's (late) summertime, and the book I want to talk about posits a world in which ordinary Americans confront extraordinary circumstances -- and as is apt to happen, do so with mixed results. It's called 1632, and the author is Eric Flint.

Some might call it science fiction; others might call it fantasy. I call it a rippin' good story -- and without being pedantic, it reinforces "the American way" as it was before 2000. The book isn't new -- it was written in 1998-99.
