In the year 2000, the West Virginia mining town of Grantville was sent across the globe and 369 years into the past. Everything within six miles, including about 3,500 people, arrived in a Europe reeling with the chaos of the Thirty Years’ War. 

The people of Grantville were thrust into war, sectarian violence, famine, and plague. But they didn’t just survive. They thrived, and they set about helping the people around them. They changed the world.

Eric’s vision in 1632 was that good people could and would rise to any challenge. The heroes of 1632 are no-nonsense blue-collar Americans – and, as the series develops, are joined by many people, both nobles and commoners, who adapt to freedom and democracy with a speed that amazes even their “up-time” guests. 

With their new friends and allies, the people of Grantville fight against oppression, slavery, disease, and simple ignorance. They explore, invent, and build.
