On this web site, we review books about
alternate history - events
that might have been that weren't.
Some of the books contain serious historical studies of what might have
been if leaders of the past had made different decisions or luck had
not influenced historical events in a particular way.
Other books that we look at, include novels or short stories
- sometimes these books involve realistic changes to history that could have
happened, but didn't - whereas in other cases, they involve
fantastic elements such as time travel or
travel between parallel worlds,
dinosaurs or even
or vampires.

Product Description: A secret society of the world's most brilliant scientists is destroyed in a raid initiated by a corrupt government wanting new technologically advanced weapons. A lone survivor is forced to enlist the aid of family members who already believe him to have died in a plane crash many years before.

On November 8, 1861, a U.S. navy warship stopped a British packet and seized two Confederate emissaries on their way to England to seek backing for their cause. England responded with rage, calling for a war of vengeance. The looming crisis was defused by the peace-minded Prince Albert. But imagine how Albert's absence during this critical moment might have changed everything. For lacking Albert's calm voice of reason, Britain now seizes the opportunity to attack and conquer a crippled, war-torn America.
Ulysses S. Grant is poised for an attack that could smash open the South's defenses. In Washington, Abraham Lincoln sees a first glimmer of hope that this bloody war might soon end. But then disaster strikes: English troops have invaded from Canada. With most of the Northern troops withdrawn to fight the new enemy, General William Tecumseh Sherman and his weakened army stand alone against the Confederates. Can a divided, bloodied America defeat England, or will the United States cease to exist for all time?
Product Description: An alternate history novel from the 1840s to the end of that century. How the disobedience of a presidential emissary voided the opportunity to stop our nation's thrust into the infamous Civil War, the casualties of which still exceed the total of all other wars our nation has fought. In Midas Sheffield & Co. the emissary is arrested, the nation saves $25 million, gains more than twenty-five states, and a severe decades-long depression evaporates. In Midas from the 1870s onward, the lead characters take on the roles of some historical persons. Hence, fiction that might have been real. There is incest, romance, daring, fast-paced change in reality that has been buried in history. It is a portrait of what might have been truth.
The New York Times bestselling author of alternate history looks at what might have happened if the Japanese had followed up their assault on Pearl Harbor in 1941 with an invasion and occupation of Hawaii.
Product Description: In the aftermath of September 11th, 2001, President Al Gore courageously leads the nation into a new Age of Tolerance following the devastating attacks on America, and into a future that we avoided…
…or have we?
Beyond compelling speculation of what Al Gore’s leadership might have been at America’s critical hour — based on his own words — Age of Tolerance is an original and realistic post-9/11 novel that goes well beyond alternate history and into the future of a nation tamed by political correctness, where sensitivity overshadows sense, values are mocked and producers penalized…
…In other words, a nation very much like our own, with a future that may indeed be ours if many have their way.
Age of Tolerance is an enticing story of triumph and consequence that keeps the reader guessing, while controversial issues such as open borders, populism, and the ‘Unholy Alliance’ between the radical Left and militant Islam are explored with a blend of subtle humor and suspense.
As much an entertaining narrative as it is a cautionary tale for a generation that has more to lose than it may realize, Age of Tolerance skillfully employs actual events to present a thought-provoking picture of what America might look like if present social trends continue.
What if Al Gore were the 9/11 President?
What if Liberals got what they wanted? Could they really live in a world of their own design?
Could a superpower be defeated by its own tolerance, or would a great nation eventually recognize and return to the traditions that made it so before it is too late?
