Critic reviews

"[His] skill at dramatizing historical forces proves magisterial once more." ( Booklist)

Alternative histories work best when you know enough about the actual history and I’m not big on American history so I expect I missed a lot but even so it was an interesting read. Sadly I didn’t really get to care about any individual character but there were so many! Not sure yet if I’ll read the rest of the books.

Interesting take

Good story I read many years ago. Would have preferred chapters to have matched the book to make navigation and flow of the story better.

Post production could have been better.

Fantastic alternate history novel, best I have ever read. So much detail and epic in scope. Can’t recommend it enough.

Amazing
