Publishers This is the first issue of second year and it’s all 1632 fiction. Thanks to our readers, we had a very successful first year. In fact, the first year of Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond was so successful that we are lengthening the issues from 40,000 words to 45,000 words in Issue 7 and to 50,000 words in Issue 8 - for the same price!
Good stories in this issue. I do want Garrett Vance to put his Japanese Samurai stories into one volume at some point in the future. Not just Kindle book but one that is also in print. This issues story is a really good one as are the rest except Trudi's Trenchers which is less story than background backstory on a character is in other works. Bethanne Kim failed to get inside Trudi's head which was disappointing. The rest of the stories are fun and funny and make enjoyable reading. This issue is recommended.
Funny cooking show with a moral is a nice moment. I'm looking forward to the next collection. Always nice to have another member of the Barbie consortium.
Another chapter in one story loop and more filler of background for another. A new short tale with some old characters and another nice story based on mail from the Ring of Fire day now being delivered and the effect.
