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?
The Sipstrassi Tales, also known as the Stones of Power series, is set in a universe where mystical stones, called Sipstrassi, play a central role. These stones possess various magical properties and are integral to the plot across the different books.
The series is divided into three subseries, each with its own unique storyline but interconnected through the presence of the Sipstrassi stones. The tales blend elements of historical fiction, mythology, and fantasy, featuring legendary figures and epic battles. The characters often face moral dilemmas and personal growth, making the stories rich in both action and depth.
The first subseries reimagines the legend of King Arthur, while the second follows the adventures of Jon Shannow, a post-apocalyptic gunslinger. The third subseries ties the narratives together, exploring the broader implications of the Sipstrassi stones on the world. It ties together Camelot, Atlantis and Armageddon.
