re: #118 William Barnett-Lewis

The absolute best historical/alternative history fiction I have ever read, bar none, is “The Dragon Waiting” by John M. Ford. Mike was one hell of a writer an this was him at his best.

amazon.com

So many wonderful what ifs - what if Byzantium stayed strong because what if magic were real? What if vampires were the result of a disease? What if Christianity did not replace the old religions but was simply a tiny one of many? What if Richard were a good guy? And so on.

If you like alt history, this one is not to be missed.

John M. Ford wrote the only Star Trek novel I liked.. I wrote a review of it over at Goodreads.

I’ll have to find this one.
