1632 & Beyond Issue #015

$5.99

This issue’s cover is from Edith Wild’s story “When Jimmy Met Barbie,” prequel to “Come Dig My Earth” (Issue 10). The Ring of Fire didn’t shock just the up-timers and down-timers. It also affected their pets. Chuck Thompson focuses on one of them in “Dagnabit Belle.” In his first 1632 story, Robert F. Lowell’s “The Grand Adventure of Baron von Münchhausen in the Land of the Americans” follows the ancestor of a historical man with whom you are probably more familiar. Marc Tyrrell introduced Alphons and Rose in “To Kill A Redbird” (Issue 12). “Adieu Anvers” is another prequel. David Hankins follows up “The Abrabanel Rescue” (Issue 14) with “The Breselgeist Romance.” The Coming Soon and Available Now sections are growing again as Baen rereleases more books, including Red Shield by Bethanne Kim. “Something Old” follows up on one thread in Bethanne Kim’s novel Red Shield, released January 6. In non-fiction columns, Jackie Britton Loptain wrote her “Mannington Minute.” “Historic Gems Restorations” introduces a non-profit restoring buildings in Mannington. Finally, we talk about next year’s 1632 convention. We hope you can join us!
