Rather US-biased

A bit of a mixed bag: some I'd read again but others not. Most are based in US history, which I found a turn-off, not knowing enough about what had really happened.

Some stories are inovative, some could be better.

Thanks to Dozois and Schmidt here is yet another collection of possible futures. Great reading though some stories could be better. Hope that some authors will continue the exploration of alteranate worlds and history.

Great intro to Uchronia for me

By far, the two best stories were among the book's longest: Michael F. Flynn's "The Forest of Time" and L. Sprague de Camp's "Aristotle and the Gun." A couple of the shorter ones were forgettable or incomprehensible. Several were merely above average. I loved the premise of Harry Turtledove's "Must and Shall," but the execution was not on par with the ones I cited above.

GREAT STORYTELLING
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
A brilliant collection of unforgettable short stories that transports the reader to fascinating scenarios of alternate history. Every single one of these stories entices our imagination and create plausible alternate timelines that seem alien yet oddly familiar.

A great anthology
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Loved all the stories in this book. Great group of authors.
