The epic have difficulty of flexibility and justice up against the tyrannies of the 17th hundred years continues, as European cunning meets American courage. The Thirty Years War is constantly on the ravage 17th hundred years Europe, but a new force is gathering electricity and impact: the Confederated Principalities of Europe, an alliance between Gustavus Adolphus, Ruler of Sweden, and the West Virginians from the 20th hundred years led by Mike Stearns who had been hurled centuries in to the past by a mysterious cosmic crash. The democratic ideals of the CPE have aroused the implacable hostility of Cardinal Richelieu, effective ruler of France, who may have transferred behind the displays, making common cause with old foes to stop this new danger to the privileged and powerful. But the CPE is also working in secret. A group of West Virginians have secretly journeyed to Venice where their advanced medical knowledge may avoid the recurrence of the awful plague which lately killed a 3rd of the city-state's human population. At exactly the same time, the group desires to determine commercial ties with Turkey's Ottoman Empire, then at the height of its electricity. And, most important, they hope to set up private diplomatic ties with the Vatican, exploiting Pope Urban VIII's misgivings about the actions of Richelieu and the Hapsburgs. But a Venetian artisan involved with the West Virginians could cause all their ideas to come quickly to naught. Having read 20th hundred years history catalogs of the time, he is becoming determined to rescue Galileo from his trial for heresy. The Us citizens are divided on whether to help him or stop him - and whether he succeeds or fails, the results may be catastrophic for the CPE.
