An anthology of alternate history stories where historical empires fail to fall when they do in our history or rise up at a different time. My favorite stories were Frederik Pohl's "Wating for Olympians" (the Roman Empire doesn't fall), Gregory Benford's "We Could Do Worse" (McCarthy in the 1950s), George Alec Effinger's "Everything but Honor" (alternate US civil war), and Harry Turtledove's "Counting Potshards" (The Persian empire doesn't fall) (  ) aulsmith | Oct 26, 2008 |   no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
What would have happened if history had been different-if the major events that shaped our times had occurred in a different way-or not at all? From a Confederacy that won the Civil War to a Europe converted to Viking paganism.These bold excursions in time depict bizarre new worlds-oddly familiar, disturbingly different-a glimpse of WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
