Overview: Few works of fiction are more intriguing and entertaining than ‘history as it might have been’. The possibilities of the genre are unlimited: how might the world be different if Carthage had defeated Rome? if Franklin had invented the internal combustion engine?….. if the atomic bomb had missed Hiroshima?….. if Queen Elizabeth I had been assassinated?….. if the Moors had defeated the Franks?
… if an American Indian had discovered Europe?
Taking such key changes in historical facts as points of departure, a master storyteller can give us a new version of history, inventing plausible sequences of imagined events that dramatise how a single, variable might have affected the subsequent course of the world.
This anthology gathers the best alternative history work of such well-known writers as Stephen Vincent Benét and Edward Everett Hale, as well as such science-fiction specialists as Poul Anderson, L. Sprague de Camp, Keith Roberts, and others.
