What If?: History Rewritten...with Magic! (Alternative History, #1) Reviews
-
The book is about events in history that, in an alternative reality, were changed by the use of magic. Most of the stories are done very well. Among these stories are:
Cleopatra did not kill herself but managed to appeal to an Egyptian god for help in defeating the Roman soldiers.
A race of monsters in Ireland.
A neat story involving a pegasus, dwarfs and dragons. Then throw in Ragnarok to make it even more interesting.
A story about Vlad Tepes, the real person who is often portrayed in books and movies as a real vampire.
What really started the American Revolutionary war.
The French Revolution, changed.
Geronimo and space aliens vs. the United States army.
An American POW who wants to stop the bombing of Hiroshima.
Vietnam and Chernobyl.
There's more, too. Really neat stories.
