I gave up on the series when the author introduced a character called Bed of the Forrest. He was a cavalry general, and before the war had been a slave trader and gambler. Hmmm, I wonder who that could be.

Well, it's suppsoed to be the start of a series. We'll see if the rest gets published.
Harry has almost single handedly made Alternate History a separate genre of it's own, but he's quite prolific, and they aren't all winners. This one seems to be Harry largely going through the motions, but not much more.

Start at any random place in "Rememberance of Things Past"...
