About this listen

When an inexplicable cosmic disturbance hurls your town from 20th century West Virginia back to 17th century Europe - and into the middle of the Thirty Years War - you'd better be adaptable to survive. And the natives of that time period, faced with American technology and politics, need to be equally adaptable.

In other stories:

● Cardinal Richelieu, France's insidious master plotter and power behind the throne, learns of his prominent role in Dumas' not-yet-written novel The Three Musketeers (not to mention the several movie versions), and starts a search for the "real" D'Artagnan.

● Grantville is selling crystal radio sets so that Europeans can tune in to the Voice of America broadcasts, but the technicians from the future are at wit's end, trying to reproduce "primitive" early twentieth century broadcasting equipment by trial and error - until a trained library researcher shows up in town.

● Wilhelm Krieger, one of Germany's greatest philosophers, comes to Grantville to learn the philosophy of the future - and meets a contrarian cracker-barrel philosopher.

Contains mature themes.

I hope this is allowed, given this is not a conventional review and more of a warning to anyone who might puchase…

This is actually a recording of a different book. The Grantville Gazette was originally published as an online publication. Later, paper versions were published that, as of Volume V, consist of a “best of” collection of stories from the online publication.

The printed and kindle versions you can buy through Amazon is the paper Volume V “Best of Online Volumes 5-11”. The cover art and description of this audiobook also refer to that publication.

However, due to some kind of mistake… this recording is of the Online Volume 5… not the paper Volume V.

The true story collection of this recording is as follows:-

1. Short Fiction
1.1. "Breaking News"
1.2. "Ounces Of Prevention"
1.3. "Burmashave"
1.4. "Schwarza Falls"
1.5. "Susan's Story"
1.6. "Of Masters And Men"
1.7. "Murphy's Law"

2. Continuing Serials
2.1. "Suite For Four Hands"
2.2. "Euterpe, Episode 3"

3. Fact Essays
3.1. "In Vitro Veritas: Glassmaking After The Ring Of
Fire"
3.2. "Dyes And Mordants"
3.3. "What Replaces the SRG?"
3.4. "The Grantville Brickmaker's Primer"
