The Disunited States of America (Crosstime Traffic)
What a horrible book: Harry Turtledove takes a very interesting concept ... and butchers it. The writing is beyond bad, it's horrible! Simple concepts are beaten to death, cliche phrases are overused, the "characters" appear to have no basis in [... more]
