Harry Turtledove books
1Let me ask- and I haven't been watching this subforum lately- has anyone read any of Harry Turtledove's series? I usually don't read fiction but he is a really engrossing reader for anyone into military/alternative history. I got captivated with "Guns of the South"- which had a theory that what if time travel were possible and apartheid South Afrikaaners traveled back to the Civil War and gave Robert E. Lee AK-47s? The South won- and that series goes from there with rematches with the North. He has several other series based on the split American nations fighting each other with other nations allied to one or the other as time moves forward in history to World Wars One and Two, which are totally different from real history but certainly plausible. I think Turtledove is a liberal but he doesn't pull any punches- no matter what character at what level on which side he switches back and forth between, he tells it as they would think it. I've been fascinated but think I'm getting to the last book of the four series I've read now. How about any of you who've read his books? What do you think?
