What would be the consequences of one errant shell slipping like a dagger into an opposing battleship in the Battle of the Yellow Sea? How would Mother Russia be changed in the course of four wars and into the modern day? Can Tsarism survive into the 21st Century?
This book covers a lot of time and does so well. It demonstrates good handle of ideas and their impact on actions. As others mentioned, it needs an editor badly.
Another very good 2 parter alt history from this author! :)
Mr Hardinge has emerged as one of all time fave alt history writers, why had I never heard of him until last few weeks?! Really engrossing tale as the Russian Revolution doesn't occur by one small difference and a moderate democracy emerges and...many things change Very enjoyable! :)
