Settling Accounts: In at the Death - Harry Turtledove

Harry Turtledove in general

alternate history works. I also love harry harrison who writes similar work. It is either going to be hit or miss with you and Turtledove, either you have a mind that wanders into countless what if scenarios everytime you read history or current events or you have a mind that discounts fantasy as a medium for conscious growth. You can get professional summaries and reviews of Turtledove off of Amazon and I won't begin to mettle in that stuff, I just wished someone had told me the man existed years ago. I get this giddy excited feeling as I count down the days until his new books are released, that is something I never felt before. My favorite series are the ...

Guns of the South: A Novel of the Civil War

Imagine it`s early 1864-the Confederacy have just been knocked for six at the Battle of Gettysburg and the tide of the war has turned in the Norths favour-or has it? The Souths General Robert E.Lee is approached by a man who offers him a remarkable weapon in quantities that can not only resupply his Army of Northern Virginia but also provide each man with unbelieveable firepower.This unknown mans accent is very strange but then so is the weapon on offer.Its a chance that Lee cannot refuse for there is no denying what an AK-47 automatic assault rifle could do to the progress of the Civil War!! Turtledove has created an history of a Civil War that never happened.His storyline ...

Worldwar: In the Balance - Harry Turtledove

I am a sucker for alternate history Sci-Fi which is why this book attracted my attention. It is the first in a trilogy covering an invasion of earth by a fleet of huge ships from a race of Lizard creatures. So far, so V. What makes this book singular is that it is set in W W II. The invasion by a vastly advanced race forces earth to halt the conflict and in some way unite to defeat a common foe. Now I am also a complete sucker for WW II related stuff, (which means I will go and see "Pearl Harbour" even though I KNOW it will be a pile of pants) and it was the prospect of spitfires and messerchmidts battling with saucers that grabbed me. I think that that war was the ...
