In the mean time, a preview of this story is shown below. It's about the first half.
Eric said, in the preface to
Grantville Gazette Volume Five:
"Sigh. Not one of these stories deals with Ye
Big Picture. Not one of them fails to wallow in the petty details of Joe
or Dieter or Helen or Ursula's angst-ridden existence.
Pure, unalloyed, soap opera,
what it is."
And we
continue in our grand soap operatic tradition with Grantville Gazette (count
'em) Volume Seven.
Is Jon
and Linda Sonnenleiter's introduction of up-time style pizza to Naples critical
to the war? Nope. Don't think so. Neither is Mark Huston's quiet story about an elderly couple and
their choices. But the fans don't much
care, we've found.
Ditto
for John and Patti Friend's crew of misfits who, somehow, make their way to
Magdeburg. They're not important to the
events we'll all read about in 1634:
The Baltic War, at all.
Neither is Virginia DeMarce's Minnie Hugelmair or Tina Marie
Hollister. They're just not at all the
type to get involved in politics ...
That ends the preview. Probably in the middle of a sentence. Sorry.
