Recently found some Harry Turtledove (Guns of the South and that WW2 interrupted by alien attack series) but haven’t read them yet. I’ve always had an interest in the “what if” story which is why I loved the show Sliders(despite excessive Cro-Mags and downer ending) and love reading up on the multiverse theory.
I have an anthology of mystery stories called sideways in time where each story is a murder mystery that takes place in a parallel earth. My favorite story was a mystery that took place at the equivalent of the U.N. for parallel earth representatives. Another interesting one is The Pacific Mystery. I recently found a book that takes place in the 1950s in a world where the British won the revolutionary war.
Anyway, any recommendations?
Maybe not what you’re looking for, but Tim Powers takes historical figures and events and puts a supernatural spin on them. His novels run a wide range of genres from science-fiction to golden age of piracy to cold-war spy thriller.
Any titles? Sounds interesting
Declare is Powers’ take on a John le Carré style spy thriller and probably my personal favorite. Other good ones are The Anubis Gates and the Fault Lines trilogy.
