Atlantis and other places/Harry Turtledove/440 pages


This book is actually a collection of alternative history short stories. The themes vary, but many of them are placed on the "what if...?" island of Atlantis. I'm normally not a big fan of this genre, or this author (to me, he comes across as slightly smug), but short stories are a nice change of pace and held my interest a little better. I particularly enjoyed"Farmer's Law", a murder mystery set in Byzantine Greece in the 700's AD. (Better than it sounds, really.)
