    Hi again denizens of SF.written
    .
    "1635: The Weaver's Code" "by Eric Flint and Jody Lynn Nye

    .If you are not familiar with the Ring of Fire series you had
    .better start reading 1632 by Eric Flint and move on to
    .1633 by the same Flint and David Weber, otherwise the
    .following will make little sense to you.

    . Well this is set in the reign of Charles the First in England.
    .Charles has read some of the future history and instead of
    .responding by becoming a better and more merciful king he
    .decides to get rid of the people who will cause him problems
    .later like Cromwell and Strafford whom he has locked up in
    .the Tower of London. And he executed others.
    . Foolishly he has locked up the United States of Europe
    .Embassy in the same place. The Embassy can be visited
    .by anyone with the cash to pay a warder. A young woman
    .in London and at court to plea for remission of excessive
    .taxation goes to see the visitors from the future. She sympathises
    .with them and later unknowingly will aid them in the escape.
    .In the escape the they take along the King's prisoners because
    .they think they are essential to the freedom of England.
    . Her request for tax relief is denied by the King's mouthpiece
    .the Earl of Cork who is intent on taking everything he can get as
    .long as he continues in place.
    . She returns to her Father's manor and gives him the bad news
    .but then visits the American's in their new home. She learns
    .a lot and orders an aquelator(sic) (a computer using water instead
    .of electricity) to aid weaving in new ways.

    ..This is a suspenseful and lively book which I thoroughly
    .enjoyed and it is from 2024. Hardcover from Baen Books.

    . bliss

    I am 1/2 way through 1632. Doing fine with it.
    I had earlier picked up for a pittance quite a few of the
    Ring of Fire series at library discard sale.
    But figured I better start, at the start = 1632.

    So, Bobbie, are you meaning to indicate that a very foolish
    King Charles locked Becky in the Tower?
    Oh man,,,, does the book include Charles losing his head?
    Or worse?

    Historically, he died in 1649.

    The series appears to be up to 1637.

    At least, per <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1632_series>.

    So after you finish /1632/ there will be sixteen more books to be read
    [1] (twelve not yet published) before you find out.

    [1] There are two 1636 novels, so actually 17 more books at least,
    more if more multiple-novel years occur. This could take some time.

    Sensible of you foolish of the library since if the series' popularity
    continues to climb they will have to buy more copies sooner or later.

    I think that lack of Flint softens the impact of this book but that
    is my taste.>
    So, Bobbie, are you meaning to indicate that a very foolish
    King Charles locked Becky in the Tower?

    Yes!

    Oh man,,,, does the book include Charles losing his head?
    Or worse?

    No but since he increases his repression of the people you know it
    will be coming as surely as the Tower walls fall once Harry Lefferts is on
    the scene.

    Especially since Flint recently passed on to the next stage of being.
    But <https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/ring-of-fire/> shows that you
    you must not underestimate the collaborators. Rebecca may return to watch
    the truncation of the King in a future story.
