The Best Alternate History Stories of the 20th Century
Wordnerd avatar reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


Some interesting premises, some good writing. A ghostly ferry makes passages between coexisting "different Earths"; a 20th-century man describes his impact on the Civil War, brought about by time-machine tricks; and Mozart, Thomas Jefferson and Marie Antoinette end up as employees at an oil refinery in this compilation, edited by Harry Turtledove with Martin H. Greenberg.
