And very good it was too. One or two excellent stories.

Next I started Rising Sun by Robert Conroy. It's an alternate history story, looking at World War II if the US had lost the Battle of Midway. The writing is OK, and the story line seems to be going well, with a touch of romance thrown in.

But I just can't get excited about recent alternate history with no added SF or Fantasy factor. If I was interested in reading this kind of book, I'd much rather read it set in a non-alternative universe! I can see how it might appeal to someone who knows the real history of that period well, but it doesn't do it for me.

So, abandoning that, I'm moving on to The Iron Breed by Andre Norton.
