The Sliders episode was in season two called The Good the bad and the Wealthy and set in San Fransisco which was part of the Republic of Texas.
I remember seeing were lawyers fought duels. Texas stayed independent of the US this no America-Mexico war. Then during ACW Texas expanded westward to California.Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed Down Mexico Way. Two questions, Drew. When will book 5 be out in print? Also the only other time I saw an AH site that had Texas as an independent country that streached from the Gulf to the Pacific was an old Sliders episode. Did you ever recall seeing it?
Longer review here.Fans of Jasper Fforde’s unique blend of comic dystopia and quirky British cosiness will not be disappointed with his first novel in six years, Early Riser (Hodder & Stoughton, £20). The setting is an alternative-reality Wales beset by terrible winters that force the population to hibernate in vast Dormitoriums. Charlie Worthing, a likable lad but something of a ninny, has landed himself a job as a novice Winter Consul, working to ensure the safety of the sleepers, who are prey to dangers such as ice-hermits, nightwalkers and flesh-eating slime. Charlie finds himself in Sector Twelve, where dreams are going viral and killing sleepers, and sleepers who take the drug Morphenox run the risk of waking up as zombies. Early Riser is a zany send-up of all things British and an often hilarious account of Charlie’s stumbling, hare-brained attempts to work out the secret of the authoritarian HiberTech company.
Started reading this today.That sounds interesting.
Be afraid, be very afraid!! Charlene Harris, the author behind the Twilight series
That hurts to read. I mean, if someone enjoys this, bless them for it, but I can't handle it."Set in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as Texoma. A world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, especially by a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose..."

Pour rappel, voici les résumés des livres :
Au Bord de l'Abime: Cycle 1
La Seconde Guerre mondiale est certainement l'événement le plus marquant des cent dernières années. Au Japon comme en Allemagne, des hommes vont tenter de sauver leur pays de la destruction vers laquelle semblent les mener leurs dictateurs. Manigances politiques, coups d’État et batailles apocalyptiques à travers l’Europe. Cette autre Seconde guerre mondiale, n’en sera pas moins sanglante et posera les bases d’un Nouveau Monde. Bienvenue dans « Au Bord de l’Abîme ». (Contient une centaine d'illustrations en noir et blanc)
Une forme d'histoire alternative... la pseudo-histoire
Et si l’Antiquité n’était qu’une invention ? Et si la Crucifixion faisait partie d’un complot fomenté par Jésus ? Et si la Guerre de Troie c’était en fait déroulé en Angleterre ?Ce genre d’idée qui semble relevée de l’uchronie relève en réalité de la pseudo-histoire, un travail d’historien qui ne respecte pas la méthodologie historique et verse souvent dans les interprétations fantaisistes.La pseudo-histoire est un genre assez peu connu en France et ce livre vous propose de plonger au cœur de quelques-unes de ces histoires folles qui feraient — pour certaines d’entre elles — de très bons thrillers.
I hope this is the right place to put this, my first alternative history novel "Prison of Peoples" is now available on Amazon!

It's an alternative 1930s, a Central Powers victory timeline following the struggles of a diverse cast of characters, an exiled Russian Grand Duke, an Austro-Hungarian Veteran, a Bulgarian woman and a British bureaucrat, it's an intrigue heavy book with lots of character drama as the cast attempt to live their lives in a world similar but different to our own. The action focuses on plots unfolding in Austrian occupied Venice and scheming in defeated London surrounding King Edward and Wallis Simpson. There's some twists and turns before the book is done, with lots of emotional moments for the characters.
I hope some of you enjoy it, feedback is always appreciated!

Turtledove, Harry. Through Darkest Europe
What if: Europe never exited the Drak Ages but remained a backwater continent rife with religious fanaticism.
Published: Not yet published; expected from Tor in September 2018 (0765379988BUY).
From the modern master of alternate history and New York Times bestselling author Harry Turtledove, Through Darkest Europe envisions a world dominated by a prosperous and democratic Middle East--and under threat from the world's worst trouble spot
Senior investigator Khalid al-Zarzisi is a modern man, a product of the unsurpassed educational systems of North Africa and the Middle East. Liberal, tolerant, and above all rich, the countries and cultures of North Africa and the Middle East have dominated the globe for centuries, from the Far East to the young nations of the Sunset Lands.
But one region has festered for decades: Europe, whose despots and monarchs can barely contain the simmering anger of their people. From Ireland to Scandinavia, Italy to Spain, European fundemantalists have carried out assassinations, hijackings, and bombings on their own soil and elsewhere. Extremist fundamentalist leaders have begun calling for a "crusade," an obscure term from the mists of European history.
Now Khalid has been sent to Rome, ground zero of backwater discontent. He and his partner Dawud have been tasked with figuring out how to protect the tinpot Grand Duke, the impoverished Pope, and the overall status quo, before European instability starts overflowing into the First World.
