Flint was for many years a labor union activist. He finished reading a particularly bad novel, threw it across the room, and declared, "I can write better than that." It took a while, but eventually he began selling stories, many of themPrincess Kristina, the heir to the USE's throne, is now residing in Magdeburg and is giving them her support and encouragement. the threads spin together to weave an addictively entertaining story.

His goal: to assemble the forces of the hidebound ruling class in Berlin and drown the revolution in a bloodbath.

The only people standing in the way are a crippled boy and the boxing champion who befriended him, and an unlikely pair of policemen.In Magdeburg, the capital of the USE, Mike Stearns' wife Rebecca Abrabanel is organizing popular resistance to Oxenstierna's plot. Can the American detective Byron Chieske and his down-timer partner Gotthilf Hoch thwart the killers before they succeed in their goal?
About 1636: The Devil's Opera:
“Another engaging alternate history from a master of Code. He really enjoys tying in religion to discussions that have nothing to do with religion. This is about as unfiltered as well as lucid an account of life as a Silicon Valley entrepreneur can be. Recommended read.. I feel like i could fall into any photograph in this book and be back in a place i was, at a show i saw, growing up. Excellent book for the beginner to intermediate level artist, with a few tips even the most experienced can appreciate.

They are edited for the book by Peter Taras, who is the photo editor for _Surfing_ magazine. In theBut now, a few years later, Adolphus has been marginalized, and his successor, the stoutly antidemocratic Axel Oxenstierna, the Swedish chancellor, is hungry for power and has set his sights on the USE. Byron Chieske, the “up-time” American cop, and his “down-time” partner, Gotthilf Hoch, are concerned that some recent cases of sabotage and murder might only be the beginning of a much larger plot.
