1634: THE GALILEO AFFAIR

When a small town from West Virginia is suddenly transported back in time to Europe, the region is in the middle of the Thirty Years War in 1632 (the first year covered by this series). By 1634, the West Virginians have established themselves, and their Confederated Principalities of Europe has joined forces with the king of Sweden. They have already altered history by their mere presence, but how far are they willing to go? William Dufris's strong narration is sprinkled with accents. He maintains a good pace and draws out the humor of the incongruities that occur when people who find themselves three centuries back in time.
