What would have happened if history had been different-if the major events that shaped our times had occurred in a different way-or not at all? From a Confederacy that won the Civil War to a Europe converted to Viking paganism, these bold excursions in time depict bizarre new worlds--oddly familiar, disturbingly different--a glimpse of WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
