: : : Beth Root's question on Richard III reminded me of all the books Andre has written that concern alternate histories. STAR GATE (1958) to the best of my memory, is the first sf novel to deal with the alternate histories of another world.

: : No I can't right off hand, but her latest, The Shadow of Albion is one of the best and most extensive jobs of delving into an alternate history that I have seen. I cannot wait for the sequel. --Paul Goode

: I was lucky enough to have Andre send me a copy of THE SHADOW OF ALBION and have it arrive on the same day I had a doctor's appointment to have an infected cyst on the back of my neck taken care of.

: I have this problem with pain killers. I've never found one that works for me. So SHADOW was quite welcome.

: I'm looking forward to the next one.

: I got into a discussion of it on speculations.com (for these arty sf writers) and apparently convinced one to read it.

: But SHADOW is still an alternate history of our world.

: PERILOUS DREAMS was also based on the alternate history of another world. How many other writers have done one, let alone two?

: I think "Wizard's World" was an alternate history of our world. But it's been a long time since I read it.

Well, I, for one, sincerely hope that in the year 2250, Star Man's Son will be considered an alternate history tale--Paul
