Review

"[1632 is a] rich complex alternate history with great characters and vivid action. A great read and an excellent book." "K. D. Wentworth is an uncommonly good writer. If you value a striking tale very well told, you need look no further." "[1632 is] gripping and expertly detailed . . . battle scenes depicted with power . . . distinguishes Flint as an SF author of particular note, one who can entertain and edify in equal, and major, measure." "[Wentworth writes] old fashioned heroic adventure, mixing sf and fantasy with a reckless abandon that makes it fun."
