I knew that there were more books by Flint, co-written by David Weber (which I figured was to speed up the next book). Flint set up something interesting but I could see where the series could become a little daunting with the research into history, the new timeline and figuring out how a new society would evolve in that environment. <br /><br />I'd likely go in order of publication if no other ordered presented itself. That's how the first fans did it, right?(x, why?)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17499160002806879025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866008426015937613.post-70734302663150043172015-04-09T07:51:38.141-04:002015-04-09T07:51:38.141-04:00I did look into it shortly after finishing the fir...I did look into it shortly after finishing the first book.

Several of my friends, whom...Interesting, have fun. Several of my friends, whom you may have met - or will if you get to other conventions - are on this shared-world project now. It's a very coordinated "shared world"; I've had inter-author coordination breakout around me. <br /> Not sure i want to wade in, though, as to get to Walter, Chuck, and Jack's books/stories, i'll need to read quite a few others first, as i doubt the later ones stand alone as well as 1632:ROF itself. <br /> But with them doing this, there's less of their own books coming out ...<br /> Then there's the controversial question of what *order* to read all the 1632 books in; the author's blog even hedges.Bill in Bostonhttp://m.twitter.com/n1vuxnoreply@blogger.com
