Ring of Fire III is an anthology created by editor-author-historian Eric Flint, first published in hardcover by Baen Books in July 2011. It is the third anthology in the 1632 series following after Ring of Fire II (2008).
The book includes twenty short stories, together with a preface by the editor.
The Preface by Eric Flint explains the contents of this anthology and mentions future works.
The reviewer for SFRevu said that "this collection contains high quality and stories that are important to the development of the 1632 universe" and that "fans of the series should easily be able to find several to enjoy as there is a little bit of everything." However, the reviewer warns readers that "this is not the place to start reading the series." In contrast, the reviewer for That's interesting... wrote a mix review even though he enjoyed the series overall. Although the reviewer had high praise for Eric Flint and for upcoming authors Garrett W. Vance and Tim Roesch for developing characters that he would care about, the reviewer felt that the other writers were "less talented" for writing stories that were just "more of the same" and which "didn't stand out".
