Reviews

[Ron · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting collection stories with 3 historical fiction pieces, 1 alternate history tale staring Telsa, and 1 mix of SF and historical fiction. The time periods covered are American Civil War, World War I, end of World War II, and Cold War Space race. All the tales were well written and enjoyable. Will be looking for the next volume.

Much the sameness, not very entertaining.
