The Guns of the South - Harry Turtledove

Worldwar Series - Harry Turtledove in general

Don`t be put off by the appallingly garish covers of the U.K. editions.I was for years and am now kicking myself for not trusting my previous knowledge about Harry Turtledoves writing!If you manage to acquire the original Del Rey they have much better covers without a Lizard in site to put you off!I only bought them after being recommended to the series by the staff of Bakka Science-Fiction Bookstore in Toronto.

alternate history works. I also love harry harrison who writes similar work.
