review 1: LOVE a good 'doom and gloom' book! I really liked this book, though hated the character Vanessa, especially after what I am calling 'the Pickles incident'. It almost made me want to quit reading the book - but I know that is what some people would do in that situation though. M...

review 1: I've always enjoyed Harry Turtledove's alternative history novels. This time he's turned his attention to WWII. If you are familiar with alternative history works, you know the routine of changing some important aspect of "real" history and then write about how this changes the...

review 1: This is a great collection. Turtledove's Atlantis is a what-if world... what if the eastern seaboard broke away from the mainland in geologic time? Different evolutionary history, plants and animals, and... naturally, once discovered by Europeans, a different human history as wel...
