Greg Bliss, author of the acclaimed 1974 spec-fic novel Doctor Lexington, a harrowing yet thrilling look at a world where the Quadruple Entente won the Second Great War and created a new global dystopia. The novel was heralded as an exceptional example of metafiction, since there is more to the setting and its characters than just the basic premise and relatively simple, mundane-oriented plot.


(OOC: The writer and novel come from Dave's post-SGW continuation and are largely analogous to Philip K. Dick and The Man in the High Castle - notably, Bliss has a long and acclaimed writing career spanning several decades. Spec-fics are an in-universe term for AH or AH-style sci-fi. And yes, that's a more unusual photo of Frank Herbert - I thought using Dick's photo would be too simplistic.)

The Liberdade district of Sao Paulo in Brazil, home to hundreds of thousands of emigrants from the Japanese Workers' Republic. Some six million opponents of the regime fled to Brazil alone during the early 1970s.

I know it's been about sixteen years since I've lived in Williamsburg, but I'm reasonably certain I don't remember Williamsburg looking anything like that.

Maybe he can re-edit that, and say the gun emplacement is outside of Charlottesville or Roanoke.

Canadian troops retreat through the streets of Winnipeg during the Great War. Several smile at the camera, perhaps in the belief that they will regroup and return or perhaps putting a brave face on matters. They would not return.

Part of a French Anti-Semitic exhibition in Paris sponsored by the Action Francaise government in 1938. Under the Actionist government of France, the rights of Jews were severally limited, banning the from most public offices and some were even stripped of citizenship. Jews were sometimes also the target of violence. Freemasons and Protestants faced similar persecution during the Actionist era.

I'm from the north of the state and have been there a few times. In the snow, in hills, maybe, theoretically, it could be it.

Probably not.

United States propaganda poster distributed throughout the occupied former Confederate States in 1948, illustrating the post-war ideal of a truly United States of America, in which all citizens, black or white, north or south, can overcome the bitter "us vs. them" mentality of the Second Great War and work together to rebuild the continent as fellow Americans.

U.S. propaganda from the Pacific War in 1932, vowing to prevent Japan, depicted as a cunning and unscrupulous cobra, from taking the newly-won Sandwich Islands from the United States.

Russian Tsarist propaganda from 1927, following the Tsarist victory in the Russian Civil War, calling for the total destruction of Marxist revolutionary sentiment within the Russian Empire. It was to herald the first of many brutal crackdowns on socialism in Russia under the reign of Tsar Michael II, as thousands of alleged agitators and revolutionaries would be arrested without trial by the tsar's secret police and either executed or sent to Siberia. All of this would decimate the Russian socialist movement, driving it to the brink of extinction before the outbreak of the Second Great War, the destruction of Petrograd by the world's first superbomb, and Russia's subsequent defeat provided a new resurge of revolutionary anger.

Thank you. The one with the helmets was started more than a year ago (!), but I've only returned to it and finished it yesterday.

Interesting.

German soldiers in occupied Paris, 1947

One three years after the Germans nuke Paris? I don't think so. The radiation levels would probably still be way to high.

Whoops, I'll fix the date to later then.
