About this title

Synopsis

First in a trilogy which tells the story of a mid-19th century war that never happened. Prince Albert dies of typhoid before he can rewrite an intemperately-worded dispatch by Britain's Prime Minister, Lord John Russell, to Abraham Lincoln. Emotions in Washington and London escalate.

About the Author

Harry Harrison is one of the grand masters of science fiction. Besides his action stories - he is the creator of THE STAINLESS STEEL RAT - he has become a leading author of the alternate-world novel. An authority on the American Civil War, his REBEL IN TIME is an exciting look at a different possible ending to that war. In A TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL, HURRAH! he takes a light-hearted look at a modern world where the Americans lost their 1776 revolution and Britain rules the world supreme. This trilogy examines the other side of that coin, a world in which America and Britain confront each other at the dawn of an era of mass destruction.
