Harry Turtledove (Author)

Book Description

Series: Baen Mega Books | Publication Date: July 6, 2004

Hugo Award winner Harry Turtledove has garnered high praise for his best - selling alternate history science fiction, and he's equally a master of science fiction adventure, as he proves in this new Baen Mega Book containing two complete novels and a baker's dozen of brilliant shorter works. Earthgrip - young Jennifer Logan just wanted to teach Middle English, but ended up on an interstellar trading ship headed for the adventure of a lifetime. Non-Interference - the Survey Service was supposed to observe alien worlds, without any interference. Then, an expedition broke the rule and an entire planet was at risk! Kaleidoscope - suppose a vampire was sent to catch Jack the Ripper? Suppose all the galaxy has star ships, but hasn't developed Earth's military technology: And much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reprint, July 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: 3 x T (Baen Mega Books) (Hardcover)

I'm a big Turtledove fan, but I won't be ordering this one, because it's a reprint of some of his older work that I already have. Although this isn't (presently) clear from this site's description of the book, it includes the previously published Earthgrip, Noninterference and Kaleidoscope.

If you haven't read these before, 3 x T is worth a look.

I have always like Harry Turtledove's stories. This book introduced me to some I did not know of. It is a collection of shorter fiction, all of which are pretty good. Some are genuinely great. The combination of humor and good writing makes for a fantastic read.

Be aware: Some of the stories have been published before as books.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Way to Expand your Turtledove Exposure, January 21, 2008

Featuring a section of short stories and two novels/novellas, most of the fiction in this anthology has apparently seen print before. However the shorter fiction include some enlightening introductory autobiographical paragraphs from the author, and at least one of the stories is presented in an original, as yet unpublished form.

While this may not appeal to diehard Turtledove fans who might already own most of the work, if you have read some Turtledove, enjoyed it and are looking for a way to get more exposure to his work, this book is great. That's the position I'm in and am thoroughly enjoying myself.
