  1. A Brother on the Moon

    On a December day in 1967, a pilot whose jet fighter is in the process of cracking up ejects a moment sooner and therefore lives when he otherwise might have died. A life that would have ended on the tarmac at Edwards Air Force Base continues on. Six years later, Major Robert Lawrence, United...

    For those who liked the Barry Bush thread, here is the complete story: Dreams of Barry's Stepfather http://www.amazon.com/Dreams-of-Barrys-Stepfather-ebook/dp/B00BO9D3NC/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362357833&sr=1-1&keywords=whittington+barry

  3. Mrs. Palin Goes to Washington

    It was a great night for the Republican Party. It looked like that the GOP had taken the House with between fifty and fifty four seats and had reduced the Democratic hold on the Senate by picking up eight seats. Most of the political pundits, while taking note of how different Washington...

  4. Barry Bush

    When George Jr. brought Annie up to Kennebunkport to meet his parents, I’m not sure who was more nonplussed, George Sr. or Barbara. It was not just that George Jr., a senior in college, was going to marry someone five years his senior whom hitherto they had never heard of. The fact that she had...

  5. Gore-Wank

    Enjoy this somewhat lyrical history of the Gore Administration, courtesy of Newsweek. http://2010.newsweek.com/essay/if-gore-had-won.html

  6. US Navy Picks Up 'Martian' Radio Broadcasts

    True story, apparently. In 1924, the CNO ordered US Navy radio stations to listen to Martian radio broadcasts for three days in late August: http://www.examiner.com/x-21670-Houston-Space-News-Examiner~y2009m11d8-US-Navy-Ordered-to-Listen-for-Martian-Radio-Broadcasts-in-1924 Naturally, they...

  7. Reagan Elected in 1972

    The POD is that Nixon dies in office in early 1972. Agnew is considered too vunerable, so he draws primary opponents including Reagan. The Dems still nominate McGovern, so Reagan wins in a landslide. I see harder line in Vietnam and against the Soviets, attempts to cut the domestic budget ad...

  9. DBWI - What if Khalid Sheik Mohammed Had been Waterboarded?

    One o f the more shocking revelations of the so-called CIA interrogation memos was the refusal by then President Gore to authorize “enhanced” interrogation methods against Khalid Sheik Mohammed when he had fallen into our hands during the Great Raid on Al Qaeda headquarters soon after 9/11. We...

  10. Without Warning: What Killed the United States?

    As everyone knows, the premise behind John Birmingham's new book, Without Warning, is that everbody wakes up one day to find that some kind of energy field has descended over North America and has killed everybody there, with the exception of parts of Canada, Alaska, and Seattle. JB told me...

  11. DBWI - The West Wing Revival

    I read in Variety that a revival of the long running show, The West Wing, is in the works. Everyone remembers the old series, which started in the 1990s during the administration of a former southern governor named Bill Clinton and ended during the administration of another former southern...

  12. The Man with the Iron Heart

    The Man with the Iron Heart is master of alternate history Harry Turtledove's latest foray into the genre. The Man with the Iron Heart is also an allegory for the Iraq War set in an alternate post World War II Germany. The novel falls down under the weight of too much suspension of disbelief...

  13. Review of Days of Infamy by Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen

    Days of Infamy is the second in a projected series of novels set in a different, far bloodier, far more horrific World War Two written by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/741611/review_of_days_of_infamy_by_newt_gingrich.html

  14. Flashman in Space

    As all the world knows, the author and journalist George MacDonald Fraser died recently, having left the great task of editing and arranging the Harry Flashman memoirs unfinished. So far the publisher of the memoirs has not announced who will be offered the task of finishing. Until that happens...

  15. 1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissanc

    Gavin Menzies, who wrote a book on the idea that the Chinese explorer Zheng He discovered America and circumnavigated the world, will shortly publish a new alt.history novel whose title tells it all. http://www.amazon.com/1434-Magnificent-Chinese-Ignited-Renaissance/dp/0061492175/ref=pd_rhf_p_6

  16. Another Thirteen Volume Alt History Series

    The alt history series that Newt Gingrich and Bill Forstchen began with Pearl Harbor will apparently run thirteen volumes, Gingrich said on Cspan. I guess that Newt wants to match Harry Turtledove.

  17. Flight 93 Retaken

    I wish this had happened. As the hijacker at the plane's controls prepares to put the airliner into the final dive, desperate hands take hold of him and pull him bodily out of the seat. A passenger, with some piloting skills, quickly takes his place and takes control of the air liner and...

  20. Jericho: Who Murdered the United States

    Jericho, the TV series set in a small Kansas town after a nuclear holecoust might, if looked at one way, be considered alt.history if one imagines that the event took place last fall, as there was an election later in November. Jericho was cancelled by the network and then, almost unique in...
