I found I wasn't in the mood for plowing through "Dreadnought", so I took it back to the library. I need something lighter to enjoy while at the pool or sitting in the sun on the back deck. I've started Harry Turtledove's "How Few Remain", an alternative history story of the second war between the states. It starts a series of books that follow this alternative history timeline through WWI and then WWII. I've read this first one in the past and enjoyed it, but I'm gathering all of the books in the series to carry me through the summertime. [:)]

I like Harry's alternative series. You need to read the whole lot which runs from after the alternative CW which the south wins through WWII.

I liked Guns of the South. After that my interest fell off. That one was good, but it's actually not part of this alternate history. This timeline starts with Confederate soldiers finding all of Lee's ANV disposition orders, not Union troops, before the historical battle of Antietam. Without "inside information", McClellan is paralyzed as normal, and Lee wins a large enough victory that Lincoln cannot issue the Emancipation, and England and France officially recognize the CSA. That is the preface. The Second War Between the States takes place in 1881. I'm a sucker for alternative history. [8D]

Any of you ever read "Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus", by Orsen Scott Card? Great book! I re-read it about every other year. [:)]

I sure hope our PBEM doesn't get too "alternative", as I really want the Allies to win. [:D]

There are a lot of alternative histories, and I like most of them (as I do SciFi). I particularly like Conroy. Turtledove is surley the most prolific. [:)]
