Publisher Description

England has driven the French from Atlantis, giving King George leave to tighten his control over the colonies. The Redcoats have seized the continent's eastern coastal towns, depriving the Atlanteans of the markets where they sell their goods as part of a strategy to bend the colonists to their will.

Instead, England's tactics have only strengthened the Atlanteans' resolve to be free. As leader of the revolutionaries, Victor Radcliff will make the English pay for each and every piece of land they dare to occupy, and will stop at nothing to preserve the liberty of his people as a new nation is born—a nation that will change the face of the world.

    " The first book in the series was inventive. But this one is just plain silly. The retelling of the American Revolution doesn't offer anything new. "

    " I think Turtledove is getting worse as he ages. Reading this was such a chore, it was almost painful. If the ideas behind it weren't so interesting, it would have been chucked around page 20. And why would you publish a series like this without a map? "

    " I'm only a few chapters in, but there has been no real "hook" to draw me in. I'm considering putting it down, and not picking it back up. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " This book was boring. It was basically just battle after battle with no real plot. It suffered greatly from a lack of maps. I could not picture in my head where any of these places were in relation to each other or to the real USA. I'm not confident that the 3d book is going to be any better. "

    " I think I would have appreciated this book more if I had a better grasp of the battles of the Revolutionary War. Some of the alternate history plot lines were obvious but others eluded me due to my lack of knowledge of this time period. "

    " You can tell Turtledove's a military man at heart was one of my early thoughts. Still love the concept behind Atlantis, but this was a slog to get through. I find I can't get into Victor as a main character--something about his form of self-doubt bugs me. "

    " Turtledove literally just took the American Revolution and changed some names. Why write that book? What is the point? I mean, it's Atlantis! You couldn't think of anything interesting to do with Atlantis! "
