Title: Too much exposition in what should be character conversation
Review: I agree that not enough historical figures appear in this book, too many ordinary Joes and Janes. The fun in alternative history is to show how the Great Ones may have risen anyway. The other problem: Too mcuh exposition in dialogue, too many times, characters who would be talking shop or talking about girls instead go into longwinded historical summaries. Makes the dialogue slow going, Harry T. should shoehorn the background in more realistically. He has some great concepts, but I wish he'd make these two changes!
