Harry Turtledove’s latest in his Hot War series, which is set in an alternate universe where we started throwing A-bombs around in response to setbacks in the Korean War. Armistice: The Hot War is shaping up to be one of those series where people don’t precisely win; they just kind of survive it. Which is kind of interesting, because his last series (The War That Came Early) is the exact opposite. In that alternate history the world thinks that it went through the wringer, even though having the war start over Czechoslovakia ended up ensuring that most of Western Europe got through it all relatively easily. Heck, even the Germans ended up in that one with no Hitler, continued union with Austria, and the Holocaust stopped before it could even begin.
Sorry; geeking. Anyway, it’s good, so far, but Armistice is the third book in a series. So read the first two… first.
