If the North Had Won the Civil War is two books in one. The modern story follows Stonewall Jackson ""Jack"" Sawyer, a history professor in the Twenty-First Century Confederate States of America. Jack writes an alternate history called If the North Had Won the Civil War in the CSA, where publication of his book is a criminal offense. The story depicts a nightmarish modern-day Confederacy where any person with a drop of black blood in his veins is denied basic human rights and confined to a ""Preserve."" Interwoven with the story of Jack is Jack's book. This alternate history of the Civil War is written with the painstaking historical authenticity and attention to detail that Andrew Heller's fans have come to expect from him. The characters in the book-within-a-book are all taken from history, and the military tactics and strategies are based on those of the actual war. The novel is followed by an lively and informative factual essay of the Civil War. Illustrated throughout with Civil War pictures.

One decision can change the course of history, but would the results be so dramatically different if, simply, Kaiser Wilhelm II had persisted against the advice of his military commanders and ordered his troops already massed at the Belgian border in 1914 to re-deploy to the east against Russia instead? It nearly happened. The Kaiser did order the invasion of Belgium halted, and yet it went ahead, bringing Great Britain and the rest of the British Empire into the war. This book explores what would have happened if the Kaiser’s decision had not been reversed and his troops had not crossed the Belgian border. It is fiction, of course, but the characters are real and, most of them, precisely where they were and where they would have been fulfilling their historical roles at that time. The story is vivid, realistic and exciting, following the action, the intrigue, the political upheavals as well as political apathy and inertia, meticulously researched and accurate in military and historical detail.

Following the events described in Gray Tide in the East in which Kaiser Wilhelm made the decision to cancel the scheduled invasion of Belgium and to send his armies east against Russia, Germany has emerged from the ensuing conflict as a dominant power in the world. Britain and the United States have not yet been involved in war with Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is, as yet, intact. Tidal Effects is an alternative history, following two major scenarios occurring in 1923 after the end of the Great European War. Firstly, U.S. Intelligence has reported the likelihood that a major naval base is being constructed by Germany in the former French colony of Martinique. This, of course, would be intolerable, being so close to the coast of the USA, and diplomacy alone seems unlikely to resolve the issue. Secondly, Emperor Charles (Karl) I of Austria is facing unrest within the Empire and, worse, the persistent involvement of Germany in his affairs. The only way forward is to form an alliance with other powers not yet under Germany’s influence, but with Austria’s political and diplomatic infrastructure riddled with German agents and sympathisers, any such plan would be sabotaged before it started. He needs to find someone who can meet with Heads of State without arousing suspicion, someone sympathetic to those opposing Germany’s expansionist plans, and yet someone whose high-level meetings will not alert Germany to his true mission. There is just one man who might be able to do it… This edition contains parts one and two of Gray Tide II, also published separately as ebooks High Tide and Rip-Tide

A Lost Baum Fantasy restored! When sea-raiders invade the peaceful island of Pingaree to carry off and enslave its inhabitants, only young Prince Inga, jolly King Rinkitink, and his grumpy goat Bilbil escape. Aided by three Magic Pearls, this unlikely trio of heroes sets out to rescue Inga's people from captivity, a quest that takes them on adventures across the Nonestic Ocean and into the underground world of the Nomes. The fat King, the young Prince and the sour goat must use their every resource to rescue Inga's parents. Originally written in 1905 as a non-Oz adventure, it was eventually published in 1916 as Rinkitink in Oz, with an Oz ending tacked on for sales purposes. Thanks to a contest sponsored by the International Wizard of Oz Club, Rinkitink now has a new ending written by Andrew J. Heller that is true to Baum's original concept. In King Rinkitink, the characters we have come to know in the story save the day with their wits and courage, instead of interfering sots from Oz (a possible book title, there), such as the insufferable Dorothy, with her bogus "I'm just country girl" persona that fools no-one and the know-it-all Wizard, being dragged in by their ears to defeat the Nome King in a monstrous anti-climax. With the publication of King Rinkitink, the true story, long suppressed by nefarious agents of a certain magical realm with a two letter name (hint: the second letter is a "z"), can at last be told.

Tidal Effects is the sequel to Gray Tide in the East, the popular alternate history of the First World War. In Gray Tide, the Germans cancel their planned invasion of Belgium in 1914, turning their armies eastward to crush Russia without interference from Great Britain or the United States. Tidal Effects picks up the story in 1923. In High Tide, the U.S. discovers that Germany is building a secret naval base on Martinique, which they acquired from France as part of the peace settlement in 1915. It is a clear challenge to U.S. control of the Western Hemisphere, but how will the isolationist, pacifism-minded American respond when the Kaiser escalates the situation to the brink of war?In the second story, Austria-Hungary is under the thumb of its powerful neighbor, and Emperor Charles would like to find new diplomatic partners and free his country from German domination. He calls in an American newspaperman to secretly sound out allies for a new treaty organization to meet the German threat. Meanwhile the Kaiser’s agent “Wolf” is working to undermine the Dual Monarchy, by encouraging a revolution in Hungarian that will allow Germany to gobble up the new territory won by Austria in the war. Tidal Effects offers two stories filled with action, political maneuvering, treachery, spies and surprises.

Gray Tide 2: Tidal Effects

Could the South have won the Civil War? This question has been asked and answered affirmatively dozens of times. But how likely was it, in reality? Now Andrew J. Heller (Gray Tide in the East) explores this fascinating subject using the tool of counterfactual analysis, instead of uninformed opinion, to look for an answer in Decision at Antietam. As always, Heller rests his arguments on solid research of the historical records and the works of reputable historians, both scholarly and popular, to which he adds his own imaginative, yet authentic, eyewitness accounts. A seamless blend of fiction and fact, Decision at Antietam is a convincing and very readable narrative history of a Civil War that might have been.

Decision at Antietam

August 1, 1914, Berlin: Kaiser Wilhelm II cancels the German invasion of Belgium over the objections of his generals, sending his armies East against Russia instead of West to France, and sets off a chain of events that will radically change the course of modern history. Gray Tide in the East is the best-selling counterfactual history of the First World War, if the Germans had not invaded Belgium in 1914 and thereby brought Great Britain and, eventually, the United States into the war. The carefully researched story is told by a host of real historical figures both famous (William Jennings Bryan, Winston Churchill) and obscure (Albert Dawson, Joost van Vollenhoven) and spans the globe from Washington, D.C. to Hanoi, from bloody battlefields to the secret chambers of diplomats. AMAZON reviews for the 1st Edition: "A superbly written alternate history without aimless fantasy, but rather a meticulously researched, and completely plausible chain of events." "Highly recommended to history lovers to exercise the mind." "A great work of counter factual history. The author knows how to tell a good story. Highly recommended." "This is a well written and believable alternate history book."
