Read several Ring of fire books a decade ago so when I found it available at the library, sure lets give it a go again. Between I have read the Column of Fire series by Follett and Hyak's book "The road to Surfdom" and other texts on Economics. I am enjoying discover through historical fiction why it is human beings seem to want to be surfs. {Well they dream of being kings).

Now see, this is how you do a spin off. Kremlin Games is clearly outside the main storyline of the Ring of Fire and includes only small cameos of established characters. But the new characters are appealing and do interesting, important things. Slice of life stuff works in short stories for the Grantville Gazette, but a novel demands more and this one delivers, unlike some others I could mention. It's clearly the first book of a new line set in Russia and I find myself actually looking forward to the next one.

Felt both rushed *and* incomplete: leaves me wanting more and unsatisfied — I'd wait until you've got the sequel in hand. All-in-all, I continue to really enjoy the Ring of Fire books.
