I've been wanting to get into Alternate History books for a while now and I've finally decided to do a little book shopping. I've already come up with a list of books that I want to read although I'd like to hear what people's opinions are on them before I pick them up. Here is the list of books that I plan on reading:
How Few Remain by Harry Turtledove
For Want of a Nail by Robert Sobel
West of Eden by Harry Harrison
Winter in Eden by Harry Harrison
Return to Eden by Harry Harrison
The Sky People by S.M. Stirling
In the Courts of the Crimson Kings by S.M. Stirling
Warlords of Utopia by Lance Parkin
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld
Goliath by Scott Westerfeld
The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett
The Long War by Terry Pratchett
The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett
A Macabre Myth of A Moth-Man by Brad Fear
The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick
I'd also like to hear any other Alternate History novels anyone wants to recommend although keep in mind that I'm trying to (for the most part) keep away from novels where the PoD is "The Nazis Win" (The above mentioned The Man in the High Castle gets a pass because of it's status and the Worldwar seriesI'm still on the fence about because of the premise).
