Between the Rivers

A tale of the morning of human history Now Turtledove turns his hand to a major fantasy creation, a world at the sun-drenched beginning of human history. Young Sharur is the scion of a merchant family in the city of Gibil, loyal -- he thinks -- to his city's god, Engibil, and to that god's human deputies. But like his fellows in Gibil, Sharur is less interested in gods than in progress in invention and trade. Then, on a routine trading expedition, he learns that the gods of the other cities, resentful of Engibil's relaxed attitude toward his people, are uniting to punish Gibil and squelch the growing power of human creativity, epitomized by the city-state's easygoing ways. Now only Sharur's wits can save the city from the aroused divinities...and he's going to need all the inventiveness he can muster. Magical, outrageous, and yet lucidly sane, Between the Rivers is a terrific entertainment, a tale of the power of human rationality that will leave readers crying out for more. The master of alternative SF. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Harry Turtledove is probably the best practitioner of the classic alternate-history story since L. Sprague de Camp domesticated it for American SF over a half-century ago, and his virtues are those of the master: meticulous research and thorough knowledge of the period, an understated but firm way with storytelling, and a sense of the exotic appeal of the past combined with an appreciation of the ordinariness of ordinary life. LOCUS Turtledove has a sure hand on all historical implications. GAHAN WILSON The work of one of alternate history's authentic modernmasters....Totally fascinating, a display of all of Turtledove's skills in historiography, characterization, and dry wit.

When alien beings armed with devastatingly superior military technology and bent on conquest invaded earth, Allied and Axis forces were already engaged in a bloody conflict - the Second World War - that spanned the whole globe. Suddenly, humans had to stop fighting each other and unite against this deadly new enemy from beyond the Solar System.From China to North Africa, from hit-and-run cavalry raids in the American West to tank clashes in Eastern Europe, the worldwide conflict raged. Now battlefield defeats, supply shortages, guerrilla warfare in their occupied territories, rebellion within their own ranks and atomic attacks forced the alien leaders to rethink drastically their strategy and tactics. Was it going to be necessary to destroy Earth in order to save it . . . ?

Worldwar : Striking the Balance

Harry has picked a monster topic for his new alternate history epic. The world of HOW FEW REMAIN - where the American South won the civil war - has moved on to 1914. Maybe Europe is overshadowed by the thunder-clouds of war, but it is not only Europe that suffers the reign of blood. The US decides to support Germany, whilst the Confederacy falls in with her old allies, France and Britain, and it is America that becomes the new battlefield for their old antagonisms. Once again brother fights brother, friend against friend and the New World is ravaged by all the horrors of modern warfare. This is the first of a four book series on the first global conflict by the modern day master of alternate history. This is THE GREAT WAR...

The Great War: Breakthroughs

Hodder and Stoughton

Is it the war to end all wars - or war without end? It is 1917, and the United States are fighting a war on two fronts. In the north, from the Pacific to Quebec, US forces in the air and on land are locked in battle against Canada and Great Britain. To the south, at the heart of a line that stretches from the Gulf of California to the Atlantic, General Custer intends to do what none of his prececessors have done - to smash through the Confederate lines in Tennessee. Into this vast, seething cauldron plunges a new generation of weapons - submarines, barrels, attack planes, poison gas and flame throwers - changing the shape of war and the balance of power. Victory is at hand - but at a price that may be worse than war itself.

Breakthroughs (The Great War, Book 3)

As Turtledove's brilliant series The Great War came to its end, the United States of America, in alliance with Germany, had defeated Great Britain, France and the Confederate States of America in a bloody conflict known as the first World War. As the 1920s begin, though, the seeds of a new conflict have alredy been sown. The United States, led by Theodore Roosevelt, swings wildly towards socialism. In Canada - now a US colony - nationalist terrorists strike against the new American oppressors. But it is in the Confederacy, trapped in a ruinous economic depression, where fascism begins to spread, and the fires are fanned by a charismatic leader who may again plunge the world into war.
