| has gloss | eng: The 1632 series, also known as the 1632-verse or Ring of Fire series, is an alternate history book series, created, primarily co-written, and coordinated by historian Eric Flint. It is, excepting the lead novel and the serialized e-novel The Anaconda Project (2007), virtually all collaboratively written, including some "main works" with multiple co-authors (1634: The Ram Rebellion). However, Flint has mentioned contracts with the publisher for at least two additional solo novels he has in planning on . Flint, whose bibliography is dominated by collaborative work, claims that this approach encourages the cross-fertilization of ideas and styles, stimulating the creative process and preventing stale, formulaic works. This series is the first example of and the inspiration for the Assiti Shards series. |
