Well, there is this series, http://www.abc-clio.com/products/browseseries.aspx?seriesid=308 , which we talked about in this thread, https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=64833

I've come to the conclusion that (like with many of his books and scenerios) he had a certain outcome firmly in mind and very solidly wrote that only without much research and logical thought. I'm not saying that what he did is wrong, lots of authors do that, but it should not be presented as...

Thanks for the map link. And while that map helps some, it does have lots of serious flaws, the primary one being that it completely ignores major terrain features and any effect that they would have. There are many, but the most idiotic and blatent one is the DZ around Thunder Bay, look it...

Interesting, but did you note that it is a textbook series. Looks to be intended for high school/college level. And the price is a bit much, $85.00/book. May be worth looking for in a couple of years on the used textbook circuit.

At various points he does lean towards all dead, and all the survivors being Eaters is an even bigger load of BS. Especially when he is describing these Dead Zones as being for 150 miles around the cities. And he did say that east of the Mississippi is mostly one big Dead Zone (with a couple...

Except all those people who have hand cranked coffee mills. What is unreasonable about them is Stirlings almost insistance that there would be NO survivors within those areas. I have no problem with a 99.9999% loss rate (though that may be too high), but 100% is patently foolish. Now there...

That's almost the exact thing that I said to Mr Stirling. I have no problem whatsoever with 99.9% of the population not making it 6 months. But I seriously doubt in numerous areas that there would be such a dead zone around ALL major urban areas. Heck, I could come up with places within the...

Nah, the twister is a dimensional vortex and the balloon just slipped through the veils between the worlds.:cool:

I saw that a while back. It looks interesting, combining two of my favorite themes. The shot clock looks to be an interesting addition to the game mechanic, though I seem to remember something similar in some game around 20 years ago. The base product is a bit on the expensive side. Still...

Having only been able to watch part of that bad load of c#*p, I think that here in north Mississippi we would still have to evacuate, but should have time to do so.

I enjoyed them also, but then I've always like Evans writing. I understood from one thing said on the Bar, that in one book there would be a Gate opening on OTL world (Stone Mountain IIRC). But my memory could be acting up.

Two more episodes by my count. And to me, it's not as much a matter of them trusting (or not trusting) Jack, as it is a matter of them not following him blindly. This show, more than just about any on the tube, you really need to have seen from the very beginning. Otherwise there is...

One of the shows I always watch. Yeah, we finally got some serious answers to some questions. Atleast some about the Dharma Initative itself. I do have to wonder though, how did the "Others" manage to fake out the off island members of the Initative so long? And I expect Locke to be back...

Who remembers this short lived TV series? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherworld_%28TV_series%29

Ah, just wondering. Will avoid reading the snippets, hate having to wait.
