The war had been raging over the Germanies for a generation, displacing millions of Europeans and leaving increasing numbers with post-traumatic stress syndrome. One such victim who has grown to be a Lutheran Pastor is once again displaced and wanders into the town from the future, Grantville.It's a case of being in the right place at the right time as he adapts to Grantville's attitudes on religion and is put in a position to use his speaking skills to mesmerize audiences. Add in the new up-timer radio which allows him the opportunity to reach large areas of amazed down-timers who are already in awe of the changes that have swept over them from the Ring of Fire, and are open to the other new ideas still flowing out, he has fallen into a position to sway the minds of a ready, willing, and able to follow audience that even further increases his powerful potential. Naturally, such a powerful influencer attracts other great and powerful forces who seek to use his skills to advance their agenda. This is the story of that man, Dieter Fischer, and that radio station, Voice of America, and how together, they were able to influence history.
