  1. Flood: By Stephan Baxter

    There is a sequel, called Ark, which explains all. I really enjoyed this book, and thought it was a fascinating (albeit implausible) setting.

  2. The Years of Rice and Salt TL

    I found the book very enjoyable. The idea of a plague wiping out just Europe is probably quite implausible, though it isn't hard to get over that aspect. What did bug me was the analogous technology to OTL, though.

  3. DBWI : If only the new Batman movies weren't even worse than the Schumacher ones...

    I hate how in the latest Michael Bay film what seems like the entire US military is unable to defeat the villlan, yet Batman and Robin can, and do at the last minute. General: "It's impossible, we can't defeat them. At this rate the entire Eastern Seaboard will be gone in a matter of days..."...

  5. A divided Australia

    Sounds interesting, I look foward to more.

  6. The Draka series: worth reading?

    I have looked up Amazon, and they Drakon and Drakas!, but they do not have Marching Through Georgia, which is the first book in the series I think(?). I have never used EBay or Half.com, neither of those are very popular here; we have a national ebay like site called TradeMe. Hm, I just...

  7. The Draka series: worth reading?

    I am keen to read the Draka books, sounds like good post-finals easy-going fiction, however Borders does not stock them in New Zealand. Any suggestions on how to get them without paying a fortune?

  8. Map Thread IV

    I duno, I just don't see the point in changing the name. I mean, the USA didn't change it's name when Hawaii became a state for example, and it is still mostly European. That and the fact that I can't think of any good names that are not too convoluted.

  9. Map Thread IV

    That seems more like a personnal bias. What is so inherrently unsuitable about Turkey, or any other nation not already in the EU to not become a member state?

  10. Map Thread IV

    The vast majority of the population, and economic base is in Europe itself, and the non-European EU countries have not radically changed; they have representation in the Euro Parliament, have free trade, and customs unions with other EU nations and share a general political and foreign outlook...

  11. Map Thread IV

    The world in 2064. There has been an array of environmental catastrophes; India for example is now a basket-case after Bangledesh was flooded, and the millions of refugees moved into India. The decline of oil has also lead to chaos in many middle eastern countries, while others have been able...

  12. Map Thread IV

    Yeah, Namibia should be a part of South Africa, for example. Anyway WW3 ITTL was pretty much an especially brutal conventional war in Europe, though there was also fighting in Cuba, and parts of Africa and Asia. Things started getting nuclear, and before the world was ended the leaders of the...

  14. alternate evolutions beneath stars both strange and familiar

    Wow, that is a really awsome site! Did you do all the artwork yourself?

  15. alternate evolutions beneath stars both strange and familiar

    I always liked the evolution of the Hornheads and Rabbucks in Dougal Dixon's after man. The northward migration of grassland antelopes into boreal and broadleaf forest fascinated me, as did the replacement of equids and antelopes in subtropical/tropical realms. I used to love that book as a...

  16. Challenge: Independent Sarawak & Sabah

    What could cause Sarawak and Sabah to not be a part of Malaysia in the present day? Leaving the Malaysian Federation or not joining it at all in 1963 is one option, as is having a different colonial relationship with the UK- perhaps more white settlers (very unlikely though) or being important...

  17. A Blank Map Thread

    I have one, but don't have it handy right now. Probably in a couple of days.

  18. Map Thread IV

    How did Japan manage to Annex all of China, and turn all of East Asia into puppets?! :eek:

  19. Map Thread IV

    No idea! :p I mostly made it to try out some effects, and see what I could do, hence why it is pretty rough. I do like the way the colours came out though. I might make a more plausible one at a later stage though, with smaller canals and more adherence to actual terrain.

  20. Map Thread IV

    Australia 1999, note the massive canal system built onwards from the mid 1930s, making Australia a significant global power. The Republic of Western Australia has gone through some rough times lately, and is now a major aid recipient from the Commenwealth of Australia in this TL, it never joined...
