Hands Of Stone by Robert Niro

Hands Of Stone by Robert Niro

The New Novel in the New York Times Best-Selling Series. Eric Flint, the Reigning Master of Alternate History, Returns to the Series He Created in 1632 for the Most Exciting Entry Yet in the Ring of Fire Saga.

The Thirty Years War continues to ravage 17th century Europe, but a new force is gathering power and influence: the United States of Europe, a new nation led by Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, and the West Virginians from the 20th century led by Mike Stearns who were hurled centuries into the past by a mysterious cosmic accident. While the old entrenched rulers and manipulators continue to plot against this new upstart nation, everyday life goes on in Grantville, even under the shadow of war, as this lost outpost of American freedom and justice must play David against a 17th century Goliath of oppressive feudalism.

Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Jonathan Jakubowicz wrote and directed the epic movie about the legendary boxer Roberto Hands of Stone Duran starring Robert De Niro, Edgar Ramirez, Ana de Armas, Ellen Barkin, Ruben Blades, John Turturro and Usher. Hands of Stone premiered in the Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival 2016 to a standing ovation on May 16th and was released world wide by The Weinstein Company. Jakubowicz jumped to international recognition in 2005 after he wrote, directed and produced Secuestro express; the frightening story of one young couple's ordeal as they career through the underbelly of Caracas in the hands of three thugs who've made them their latest payday. The thriller became Venezuela's highest-grossing film, eclipsing such movies as Titanic and The Passion of the Christ. Las Aventuras de Juan Planchard is his first novel.
