Title: Great concept; starts off well, bogs down, spurt at the end.
Product review: Turtledove has to spell out every detail of his alternate world. When I say spell, I mean S P E L L it out. Did I mention he goes on and on and on...If you get this book, I recommend reading the first 100 pages, then skipping to the last 50 pages. Without spoiling anything, here's all you will miss:The bad guys are B A D, but some are worse than others.The good guys have to fight against prejudice and greed.The wheels of change turn S L O W L Y, especially in a Turtledove novel.
