Book Description

October 1998

From the undisputed master of Alternate History comes a stunningly original collection of twenty provocative stories springing from the imaginative reinvention of history. Traveling down ancient roads and into far-off futures, Harry Turtledove poses the what ifs of history and arrives at some remarkably thrilling conclusions . . .

 ¸  A retired Confederate captain returns to a scarred battlefield after the Civil War--will his visit reopen old wounds or heal them?

 ¸  A werewolf boy tears through Cologne's medieval streets in search of sanctuary from the angry mob, but where will a creature so despised find refuge?

 ¸  A student from the future sets off on a field trip to study Genghis Khan. What will he do when he finds Khan in the twentieth century?

Journey across the centuries through this spellbinding collection of historical byways and detours with the Hugo Award-winning author as your guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good short story collection, June 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Departures: Stories of Alternate History (Paperback)
I found the stories in this book to be for the most part very well written. The few that I didn't care for were just ones with which I had little interest. The stories give you enough so that when you are finished with one you can continue the story in your own imagination any number of ways. It provides a good variety of stories, from time travel to alternate history and even a little science fiction/fantasy. If you are looking for a book that covers many different areas of science fiction, this is for you.
