Rome, 1635, and Grantville's diplomatic team, headed by Sharon Nichols, are making scant headway now it has become politically inexpedient for Pope Urban VIII to talk to them anymore. Sharon doesn't mind, she has a wedding to plan. Frank Stone has moved to Rome and is attempting to bring about the revolution one pizza at a time. Cardinal Borja is gathering votes to bring the Church's reformers to a halt in their tracks, on the orders of the King of Spain.

Shows how the "good guys" don't always get the initial win.

I love how this book shows the machinations of idiots with a bit of power, and the outcome(s) of said actions, and how the most canny of political animals can be caught wrong footed by an amateur.

The Thirty Years' War continues to ravage seventeenth-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 twentieth century, led by Mike Stearns, who were hurled centuries into the past by a mysterious cosmic accident.

Just a damn good story.

The title says it all, so far all of the 1632verse books I've read/listened to have been damn good. The way the authors have researched and written the characters, historical and fictional, it brings them to life.
