Talk:Alternate History

Upcoming AH in '09
One of the few things for which '08 was a good year was alternate history. MwIH, USA, V-WW, ItCotCK, OoE, BF, and even those anthologies of Star Trek novellas set in other universes where historical events broke differently all come to mind for me, and I'm sure I'm missing some.

What will '09 hold for the genre? Hitler's War is the only one I know of that's got a hard-and-fast release date and is available for preorder. We can assume the third Atlantis book will come out at the end of the year, though it's yet to be announced. The second BF book might also be due, though given how finicky the last one was in getting released, I'm not holding my breath. (I hope it comes out on a regular schedule, though; I enjoyed the first one rather more than I'd expected to.) I've not heard a peep on the subject recently, but Birmo has hinted he's not done with the AoT timeline. And as always there's so much overwhelming Evidence! that TL-191 will be continued till the end of time that there's really no point in imagining any other possibility--even though that's what AH is all about.
