This time the 20th-century transplants are determined to prevent the rise of Oliver Cromwell and even have the support of King Charles."- Library Journal About 1634: The Galileo Affair : "The 20th volume in this popular, fast-paced alternative history series follows close on the heels of the events in The Baltic War, picking up with the protagonists in London, including sharpshooter Julie Sims. Both those familiar with the series (and this sequel's predecessor) and those reading "No Peace Beyond the Line" as a first exposure to an addictive series will find it satisfying reading."

The battle for the New World has not merely begun it is a fight to the finish. Indeed, their historical reaction is to respond with overwhelming-and often genocidal-force. So, following in the footsteps of the conquistadors, the empire's commanders are resolved to show that they do not take threats lightly or lying down.
But for now, the only oil Imperial Spain knows about is the crude pouring out of the Allies' pumps on Trinidad-which threatens its interests in both the New and the Old Worlds. New friendships must be forged with the native peoples, who will not only shape the colonists' future in the Caribbean, but will also decide whether they will be given access to a Louisiana oilfield that could change the balance of power. Relationships among the allied Dutch, Swedes, Germans, up-timers, and even Irish mercenaries continue to evolve and deepen. Commander Eddie Cantrell and his ally and friend Admiral Maarten Tromp start it off with some nasty surprises for Spain, whose centuries-long exploitation and rapine of the New World has run unchecked.
