Foreword
This issue was not planned with a theme. Nor did I pick stories because they matched. In fact, I didn’t even notice until the stories were back from the proofreaders. Every single one answers the question, “Whatever happened to _____?”
Magdeburg Messenger
(Fiction)
Twenty-five years ago, in Chapter 4 of 1632, Balthazar and Rebecca Abrabanel’s carriage driver fled. David Hankins tells the driver’s story in “The Abrabanel Rescue.” This is David’s first 1632 story.
“The Arabian Queen” by Virginia DeMarce follows characters who’ve had a much shorter wait, picking up right after “The Play’s The Thing” from Issue 11.
Terry Howard’s “More McDonalds” also follows a story from Issue 11, “Clan McDonald.” This concludes that arc, although not the story of the McDonald clan.
“Artists From Afar” by John Deakins is the sequel to “Chiaroscuro” from Grantville Gazette 89.
Anya’s story continues in “Green, Blue, and Bruises.” Natalie Silk first introduced Anya in Grantville Gazette 87, and some members of her family appeared as recently as Issue 12.
Redbird Reader
(Fiction)
“Guardians of Germany” by Bjorn Hasseler takes place largely at Redbird Institute. It draws together Wilhelm Reuber (Grantville Gazette 61), the missing fourth von Hesler brother (Grantville Gazette 56), and Sunshine Moritz (Security Solutions).
The State Library Papers
(1632 Non-Fiction)
Twenty-five years isn’t just a long time for characters. It’s a long time for authors, too. When the Ring of Fire happened on Sunday, April 2, 2000, the world was a very different place than it is today. Tracy Morris provides us with reminders of what electronic entertainment was like, in “Movies and Television The Year Before The Ring of Fire.”
