In this collection of twelve alternate-history stories, Harry Turtledove explores worlds that diverged from our own at pivotal moments in history. The tales range from an Atlantis that survived into modern times to reimagined versions of ancient Greece, Victorian-era mysteries, mythical voyages, and historical what-if scenarios. Combining meticulous historical research with imaginative speculation, Turtledove presents a diverse set of stories examining how small changes can reshape civilizations, cultures, and destinies.
