Title: better choices are available...
Review: A few really good choices of classic examples are here, such as "The Lucky Strike," but too many of these stories are either only vaguely altenate history or they lack the credibilty necessary for fiction based on conter-factual speculation. I recommend the collections Roads not Taken and the Way It Wasn't, both more to the point, and of course, the essay collections What If One and Two. And of course, great alternate history novels abound- why not start with Pavane, by Roberts and The Alteration, by Amis? Nothing in this collection ranks in the same category with them.
