With shocking vividness, Turtledove demonstrates the extreme fragility of our modern world . . . This is state-of-the-art alternate history, nothing less
Good fun. It has an authentic speculative quality, energy and dash.
Turtledove plays heady games with actual history, scattering object lessons and bitter ironies along the way. Strong, complex characters against a sweeping alt-historical background.
Engrossing ... definitely the work of one of alternate history's authentic modern masters . . . totally fascinating.
