To be honest, the Alternate History genre is not my cup of tea, though, I love reading history. And to be extra honest, I believe this is the first book I ever read of Alternate History! Somewhat ironic because in general, I love history especially World War II.
However, there are several stories (25 total) contained in this book, which I found entertaining to read. 'The Lucky Strike', 'Lenin in Odessa' and 'Darwin Anathema' are among my most favourite titles in the book. I'm not entirely sure whether I really want to delve deeper exploring this genre. But, there are several contributing authors that seem worth checking out their materials.
