Other Earths

by Jay Lake

Other Earths Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"The well-known authors in this wide-ranging alternate history anthology strike out in welcome new directions, often focusing on obscure events or people. The musician Ralph Vaughan Williams appears as an aging ambulance driver amid an extended Great War in Alistair Reynolds's 'The Receivers,' while an astronomical phenomenon leads the conquering Inca to become the world's dominant power in Stephen Baxter's 'The Unblinking Eye.' Those taking on more recognizable themes — like a magical race's diaspora in Theodora Goss's 'Csilla's Story,' or an America that never suffered a civil war in 'This Peaceable Land; or, the Unbearable Vision of Harriet Beecher Stowe' by Robert Charles Wilson — reveal their twists' horror and grit without being gratuitous. The well-realized narratives and gripping details make each tale a good introduction for any reader new to alternate history." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

one world among many... eleven stories about them all

What if Lincoln never became president, and the Civil War never took place? What if Columbus never discovered America, and the Inca developed a massive, technologicallyadvanced empire? What if magic was real and a half-faerie queen ruled England? What if an author discovered a book written by an alternate version of himself?

These are just some of the possible pathways that readers can take to explore the Other Earths that may be waiting just one page away.

Synopsis:

Taking a look at alternative history, this collection features 11 original stories about the different paths Earth might take if certain events never occurred. Authors include Robert Charles Wilson, Gene Wolfe, Alastair Reynolds, and Benjamin Rosenbaum. Original.
