Paperback. The latest issue of the bestselling historical fiction magazine Do you love historical fiction, alternate history or historical fantasy? Then you will love Alt Hist. Alt Hist Issue 6 includes four wonderful alternate history stories, plus a great "straight" historical fiction set in 1914 about a teenage girl accused of war crimes. The alternate history stories cover some classic areas for speculative fiction and of interest to alternate history buffs: what if Hitler won the war, what if the Germans invaded Britain in WW2, who really killed JFK and what if the Cold War turned hot? But none of these tales are just speculation on alternative versions of history. They all share what you have come to expect from Alt Hist: a strong story and engaging characters. Alt Hist is the magazine of Historical Fiction and Alternate History, published twice a year by Alt Hist Press. Stories featured in Alt Hist Issue 6: -"B-36"by Douglas W. Texter -" Battalion 202: Worm in the Apple" by Jonathan Doering: -"The Iceberg" by Andrea Mullaney -"When Shots Rang Out" by Lynda M. Vanderhoff -"Hitler Is Coming" by Martin Roy Hill Set in a world in which the early Cold War grows very hot, "B-36"by Douglas W. Texter tells the tale of what might have happened if the Soviet Union had taken Berlin during the Berlin Airlift. In this world, Secretary of Defense James Forrestal orders a B-36 piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Drummond and a very special mission commander to fly to the Soviet Union with a secret "gimmick" on board. The results of the mission are world-changing. The next instalment of Battalion 202 by Jonathan Doering: "For all I know, you're dirty as well." Christopher felt his chest flare. "Alright then, if you don't believe me, shoot me." A worm enters an apple. It is seeking food, shelter. It is only acting on its nature. But sooner or later the apple will turn rotten. Everything will explode. There is a traitor in Pontefract Auxiliary Unit. A traitor who places his own survival and success in the new Nazi state ahead of everything - even the lives of his comrades. On Boxing Day, 1914, a teenage girl sits in an Edinburgh prison awaiting trial for a war crime. Her lawyer finds himself captivated by her as he tries to establish the truth of the case, whose roots lie in the Titanic disaster two years before. 'The Iceberg, ' by Andrea Mullaney, is based on an extraordinary true story. In "When Shots Rang Out" by Lynda M. Vanderhoff JFK was a well known ladies man, but his family has suffered under a curse that is nearly Shakespearian in scope. Could it be that Kennedy upset the wrong person with his philandering, putting in motion the death and bad fortune that would see his family destroyed? What would the United States be like if Hitler won the Second World War? In "Hitler Is Coming" by Martin Roy Hill protagonist Paul Klee is an OSS veteran and police investigator on temporary assignment to the post-war American SS to stop a plot to kill a victorious Adolf Hitler on his first visit to the U.S. From fascist cabbies to corrupt Party gauleiters, Klee wends his way through an America most Americans today never knew once existed.
