As and when Cortez bags another redneck the tally floating above them will change to 1633

And, of course, like pretty much all weird Baen covers, that actually happens in the book.
September 3rd, 2014 at 12:40 pm
Needs ‘hunkbutt’ tag?

Baen runs out of book titles. Starts publishing books by number.

This cover lost all historical accuracy with me due to the lack of bumper stickers on the truck.
September 3rd, 2014 at 2:22 pm
@fred: note the lack of conventional bumper on said truck.

Is this, by any chance, a novel where a bunch of drunken rednecks and their truck are caught in a time vortex and whisked back to America in the year 1632, where they fight back a Spanish invasion, thereby laying the foundation of the Republic…?
You don’t have to answer that question.

It’s fixin’ to be another quiet Friday afternoon in Hazzard County. The school kids are watchin’ the clock, and the big hand can’t make it to three fast enough. Ol’ Cooter Davenport’s fallen asleep workin’ on Doc Petticord’s beat-up Oldsmobile. Down at the Boar’s Nest, folks are already talkin’ ’bout tonight’s live musical performance. But even a blue sky can have a cloud, and Gustavus Adolphus looks to be cookin’ up a little hail for the Duke Boys. Pardon my Thuringian.

Reviews on GoodReads seem to indicate that this is every bit the jingoistic pro-guns, pro-‘Murica exercise that the cover makes it out to be so… win??

Conquistador re-enactments? Aren’t they, you know, a bit too far North for that?

@anon: Hey, I live in Florida and we had more than our fair share of conquistadors tromping through here! They got farther north than you’d think.
September 10th, 2014 at 7:26 pm
@Tom Noir: Ok. Spruce naturally growing there too?
September 11th, 2014 at 12:45 pm
Pardon my Thuringian, Finnegan, begin again.
September 11th, 2014 at 2:33 pm
@anon: actually the MOUNTAINS are the big problem with this pic. In Florida we have two types of terrain: flat and swampy.
September 13th, 2014 at 10:30 am
@Tom Noir: Ah. They do look a bit out of place and it’s not because of the truck or the house. One less conquistador and no guns and I might be thinking a failed depiction of Don Quixote with Sancho Panza..

Perhaps you should read the book instead of just guessing based on the cover. It’s actually quite good and the fellows you think are NRA members are actually good progressive union men who happen to have had their county sent back in time to, you guessed it, 1632.

Dead Stuff With Big Teeth wins (re: Dukes of Hazzard reference).
September 28th, 2014 at 5:36 pm
@Alessandra: cheers! It’s what I have Wikipedia for. 🙂

@Nissa: So, that’s why they use a log for a bumper!
September 30th, 2014 at 1:34 pm
Shouldn’t that font be orange?

Oh, hey! 1632 was my first introduction to the “Alternate Flinterverse”. Enjoyed the premise (made possible by my complete ignorance of 1600’s history).
@DSWBT’s Dukes of Hazard mash up – hilarious.

You’d think the conquistadors would be more put off by the giant numbers floating in the sky. Which seem to be caught in a swift breeze at the top of the hills.
A few conquistadors made it as far as Kansas. It wasn’t at all pleasant. (Some things never change)

Looks a little like Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness –
“Trapped in Time. Surrounded by Bavarians. Low on gas”
Actually, that sounds a little like current German reality.
July 14th, 2022 at 10:05 pm
@JJYoyo: This book series WISHES it could be as groovy as Evil Dead.
July 15th, 2022 at 11:02 am
@GSSxN: That, too, sounds like current German reality.
July 15th, 2022 at 10:08 pm
@JJYoyo: LOL. The Germans have been many things in their time, but rarely groovy..

@GSS ex-noob: I hear Berlin in the 1920s came pretty close…(of course, the Nazis wrecked that).
July 16th, 2022 at 9:53 pm
@Bruce: That’s why I said “rarely”. Berlin in the 20s-early 30s, West Berlin a few times later on… but that’s all I can think of.
