The Mirage by Matt Ruff

4.0

An enjoyable alternate history novel with an interesting premise (9/11 and its subsequent events, with American and Iraqi roles reversed). In the hands of someone like Harry Turtledove, this would have been a pretty terrible book. In Ruff's hands, however, it is surprising and a bit thought-provoking as well. I liked it much more than his previous book, Bad Monkeys. Actually, come to think of it, I enjoyed it more than any other AH book I've read in the past few years!
