He is introduced being painfully polite to his brother-in-law Tom Simpson's parents, and in particular the stuck-up overbearing conceited corporate CEO father John Simpson who acts as the first novels' most visible resident jerk, in-town ant

abstract
  • Michael "Mike" Stearns is a major fictional character created by author-editor Eric Flint in the best selling science-fiction series 1632, and is arguably the most central and visibly important protagonist in the series as a whole. Cast as a "non-traditional leader type" in the lead novel 1632 (novel), Stearns is an ex-prize fighter and college drop-out that holds the position as the regional president of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) local chapter, and is hosting and paying for his sister Rita's wedding reception as the first novel begins. He is introduced being painfully polite to his brother-in-law Tom Simpson's parents, and in particular the stuck-up overbearing conceited corporate CEO father John Simpson who acts as the first novels' most visible resident jerk, in-town antagonist, and enemy to Mike Stearns as events unfold. __TOC__ In time, the rough and tumble ex-professional pugilist is shown to have an almost uncanny sense of what is possible and what is not with people and in negotiations—he is in many ways a born politician, and his skills mesh like precision gears with circumstances as he leads, argues, cajoles, and intimidates as needed. The 'New United States' needs to grow, and Stearns knows how to pitch a proposal, and then argue the details—skills honed in many a union labor negotiation.
