re: #97 Shiplord Kirel

True, but Guns of the South is much more a work of science fiction, a time travel story, than a straightforward work of alternate history.

Lee has hindsight only because of the original premise, intervention by time travelers, which was the reason for the break with real history in the first place. That intervention also results in Lee’s life being extended (he died in 1870 in the real world) since Confederate scientists are able to duplicate the nitroglycerine cardiac medication the racist time travelers had been trying to use to bribe him.
I actually thought Guns of the South was better written and generally more entertaining than the long, long Timeline 191 saga but it is a fundamentally different kind of story.

No doubts with you there, because Guns of the South is all very self contained and GASP for a Turtle Dove novel there are only two viewpoint characters as opposed to say his Darkness books about fantasy WW2 which have about a dozen of them.

That said I still would be interested in seeing sequel to Guns of The South, though I suppose part of its charm is how self contained it is…
