  1. Upcoming AH books

    Wild Cards has been optioned by SYFy/Universal as well...http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/game-of-thrones-george-rr-martin-wild-cards-254382

  2. Upcoming AH books

    "Stone Spring" takes place entirely during the last ice age. The setting is in the English Channel before it is flooded. Well mostly, there are a couple of out of area settings that bring in major characters. There is nothing that is truly impossible for the given technological level of the...

  3. 1632... ok 1635

    The one thing you find is that the events of the subplots from the other books are mentioned in the main story arc. I think that you can get away with reading the Bavarian Crisis, but you might not enjoy it as much.

  4. 1632... ok 1635

    My thoughts though revolve around the shell shocked feeling around the country in the immediate aftermath. There is a strong sense of nationalism in Grantville, toss in the tramatic ROF and things could cut loose. The sharing of technoilogy, especially those related to war may have been more...

  5. 1632... ok 1635

    TEF is as you would imagine related to Gustavus' advance to the east into Poland. The battle scenes are fairly brief. There is a fair amount related to the internal political situation in the USE. I chose the early date because of the confusion. No true idea what happened, just anger and...

  6. 1632... ok 1635

    I am most of the way through 1635:The Eastern Front. While reading it, there is some discussion of the Turks and I had one of those logic jumps... How would the Grantville attitude towards the Turks be different if the RoF happened September 12, 2001 instead of before it? btw 1635:TEF is ok...

  7. My History teacher is an Alternate-History denier

    The early greek historians weren't always the simple purveyors of facts either. There are also the cases where fiction is the history. The Orson Wells War of the Worlds was fiction that made history, literally.

  8. War that came early: West and East

    That is a good question.... I would go with either the Soviets two front wat or the German invasion of the North. The event that I wish would happen is the death of Peggy Druce. No country should let her in, she enters the German's follow. If she ever makes it back the the lower 48, the...

  9. Greatest US Presidents Who Never Were

    George Bush in 1981 after the assasination of Reagan and before all the trickle down BS was bought into... voodoo economics is right.

  10. John Birmingham books

    After America seemed a little tighter. Juiliann, Pedro, Kipper, and Catlin are return perspectives. There is also a new Islamic POV character. Pedro's POV is out of time with the rest of the characters, whose main plots occur over the course of a couple of days. AA starts about 3 years after...

  11. Stalin attacking the west? WTF?

    I read the ARC of this a while ago, so I don't remember everything and I don't have it sitting right here: The whole fight breaks out as one commander decides to exceed his orders. Conroy set up Stalin's mental state pretty clearly. The post war world in this TL would be quite interesting.

  12. 1635: The Tangled Web

    I believe that The Tangled Web is a byproduct of the changes in the Grantville Gazette publishing. Originally, each Grantville Gazette was to contain the original electronic version of that volume of the Gazette with an additional Flint Story. The new paper Gazettes, starting with V are now...

  13. Liberating Atlantis

    I haven't read the short stories yet... I may have to find them.

  14. Liberating Atlantis

    Several... hundred... the other short?

  15. Liberating Atlantis

    The Audubon story.

  16. Upcoming AH books

    This is a completely different story. In it Truman orders troops to enter Berlin as the Soviets are invading. Stalin freaks and orders operations against the Western Alies.

  17. Liberating Atlantis

    The focus of the story was not what I expected. Atlantis finally took a major swing away from OTL. There was some repetition, which in this case relates back to a short story in this world. The government that Atlantis established was definitely odd, but there was a certain rationality to...

  18. FAE & Thermobaric weapons in Emberverse.

    There is a change in one of the basic gas laws. The pressure caps at certain level but it lacks the explosive force pressures. Greek fire still works in its clingy fashion. Tires can hold air pressure because it is below the threshold.

  19. The Sword of the Lady

    I have read the ending twice, and I am sure I am still missing something. There seems to be a partial explanation for the displacement of Nantucket. But if this is all we get for an explanation of why things happened, I would have preferred mystery.

  20. Hitler's War(Turtledove)

    Franco isn't in charge though. Remember the POD...Jose Sanjurjo doesn't die, Franco doesn't move into the leadership.
