[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 3667244, member: 8530"] TurtleDove is indeed King. I am currently reading his How Few Remain/American Front trilogy/American Empire trilogy/Settling Accounts quartet novels. I've finished the first nine and have ordered the tenth in the series which should arrive any day now (with the eleventh and I believe final novel hitting book stores next month). The premise of this series is that history changed by a single event - namely the lost Confederate orders wrapped around the cigars before Antietam not having been lost and found by McClellland's troops. In this alternate history Lee wins at Antietam, France and England then recognize and ally with the Confederacy, their fleets laying seige to the Union ports, and Lincoln relucatantly conceeds and recognizes the Confederate State of America. "How Few Ramain" deals with a flare-up between the United States and the Confederacy 20-years later, when the South purchases the states of Chichaua and Sonora from Mexico to give then an outlet to the Pacific over the objections of the United States. The "American Front" trilogy is set during WWI where the United States is allied with Germany while the Confederacy is still allied with France and England and both are drawn into full-scale conflict. The "American Empire" trilogy focuses on the years 1918 to 1941, but instead of Hitler's rise in Germany the focus is upon parallel events transpiring in the Confederacy. Other subplots focus upon the American occupation of Canada, which England has lost in WWI. And the "Settling Accounts" is WWII. [/QUOTE]
