Now it turns\nits attention to the New World, where the English have ceded their colonial\nclaims to France. There are vast lands and rich resources across the\nAtlantic for any nations powerful enough to rule and control them—and\nequal incentive for other nations to block their\npath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe time-displaced Americans\nknow about the future path that led to their own United States in North America,\nin the other universe they came from. But do they want to repeat that history as\nit was? Yes, they had democracy—but they are helping to create that in\nEurope. And they have learned the bitter prices paid for chattel slavery and the\nnear-extermination of the native\npopulations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnowledge is power.\nPerhaps a new course can be taken. Accordingly, an expedition is sent to the New\nWorld to see just what might be happening there and what might be done.\nThey are armed with their technology, among which are a radio and an airship.\nMore importantly, they are armed with the knowledge of future history and their\ndetermination not to repeat the errors of their\npast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat could possibly go\nwrong?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Eric\nFlint:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This alternate\nhistory series is . . . a landmark . . .\n”—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[Eric]\nFlint's 1632 universe seems to be inspiring a whole new crop of gifted alternate\nhistorians.”—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[R]eads\nlike a technothriller set in the age of the Medicis . . .\n”—\u003ci\u003ePublishers\nWeekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Walter H.\nHunt:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A compelling and\nimmersive novel in which every word feels authentic and every chapter draws the\nreader deeper into the dark and terrifying power of the\nmind.”—\u003ci\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53769544565009,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781982124755.jpg?v=1783951638","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-1636-the-atlantic-encounter-by-eric-flint","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
