If you want a summarized plot that moves along, and don't really care about characters, this one's for you

Positioned nicely to create a successful 1632 spinoff.

Stereotypical start and quite predictable. However, the integration of modern technology with the matrilineal model of local societies and incipient political processes are beginning to drive the storyline nicely. It should have enough staying power to enable this 1632 sub-series to evolve nicely.

Continues the canon nicely through a chaotic Russian political scenario. Despite the cast of characters list, its multiplicity and critical absences made this a slow and difficult book to read, almost, negating a good storyline.

There just is no telling how many multiverses they set up with the Ring of Fires. This one has a cruise ship transported to the Mediterranean around 321BC. People there are no different. They are attempting to influence the Greek cradle of civilization.
