  1. Evolution, by Stephen Baxter (some spoilers)

    Has anyone else read this book? Not explicitly alternate history, but this book traces the history of the primates (in 'Walking with Dinosaurs' like chapters) and the evolution of humans, adding some some speculative stories that could be turned into AH (but then again could've really...

  2. No 9-11

    Imagine if Bin Laden & co. decide that that a big attack on the US would not be in their interests then, and instead decide to lie relatively low, ie no major attacks for the next several years (up to at least now), so that can plan for effectively for future plots.

The 91 Gulf War can be viewed as a watershed in international affairs - the presence...

  6. Jesus Christ exiled instead of crucified

    I got this AH idea from watching Pasion of the Christ. The Romans (well Pontius Pilate at least) didn't really want to have Jesus executed, but were pressured into it by the Jerusalem Temple priests and their followers. What if Pilate had decided that it would've been better to banish Jesus from...
