Harry Turtledove bibliography
Bibliography of science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction and nonfiction writer Harry Turtledove: Writing as H. N. Turteltaub. Section::::"Hellenic Traders". This historical fiction series is about two cousins who are traveling merchants in the 4th-century BC Mediterranean. Writing as Harry Turtledove. Section::::"Videssos". The series is set in a world analogous to the real-life Byzantine Empire. Section::::"Worldwar" / "Colonization". The series incorporates elements of both science fiction and alternate history. In "Worldwar", aliens invade during World War II in 1942. The "Colonization" trilogy deals with the course of history a generation after the initial series, as the humans  and aliens work to share Earth. "Homeward Bound" follows a human spaceship that brings a delegation to the alien homeworld. Section::::"Southern Victory". Order 191 is never found by Union troops during the Maryland Campaign and so the Battle of Antietam never occurs. Instead, the Army of Northern Virginia, under Robert E. Lee, marches into Pennsylvania, crushes George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac at Camp Hill, and proceeds to capture the city of Philadelphia. As a result, the Confederacy wins the War of Secession in 1862 with official recognition as an independent nation from Britain and France. Another popular  moniker for the series is Timeline-191. Section::::"Darkness / Derlavai". The fantasy series is about a global war that occurs in a world related to medieval Europe in which magic exists. Many plot elements are analogous to elements of World War II, with kingdoms and sorceries that are comparable to the historical nations and technologies. Section::::"War Between the Provinces". The fantasy series is based heavily on the American Civil War except that magic exists, the geography of the North and South have been reversed, and blond-haired serfs are featured rather than black slaves. Section::::"Crosstime Traffic". Travel between parallel timelines, for the  purpose of harvesting resources, has become possible in the late 21st century. It is a young adult fiction series and so racial slurs, profanity, and sex are considerably muted, compared to Turtledove's other work. Section::::"Days of Infamy". The Japanese Empire gains the initiative in the Pacific War by invading and occupying Hawaii immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Section::::"Atlantis". The trilogy describes a world in which the American East Coast, from the tip of Florida to Nova Scotia, broke away from the mainland around 85 million years ago and has an island biota that is similar to New  Zealand's. It was discovered in 1452 by a Breton fisherman, François Kersauzon, it was named Atlantis. The seventh continent becomes a focal point in a gradually-diverging timeline. Two short stories, "Audubon in Atlantis" and "The Scarlet Band," have been set in the milieu. "Opening Atlantis" was nominated for the 2009 Prometheus Award. Section::::"Opening of the World". The trilogy describes a fantasy world in which inhabitants of an empire that is of the Iron Age but has Pleistocene wildlife explore a land uncovered by a receding glacier and then discover a threat to their national security. Section::::"The War That  Came Early". A hexalogy describing an alternate World War II which begins in 1938 over Czechoslovakia. The first volume, "Hitler's War", was released in hardcover in 2009 without a series title. Section::::"Supervolcano". The trilogy has the Yellowstone Caldera erupt at some unspecified point in the future and covers the decade following the Eruption. Section::::"The Hot War". Point of divergence: 1950. The Korean War escalates into World War III after Harry Truman allows Douglas MacArthur to use atomic bombs as he had wanted to, leading to a chain reaction of nuclear bomb attacks throughout Asia, Europe, and North America. Section::::"State  of Jefferson Stories". First published in May 2016, the stories are set in a world in which Sasquatch, Yeti, Indonesian Hobbits, merfolk, and other cryptids are real or not extinct. Unlike common popular depictions of such creatures as less evolved primates, they are integrated into a world designed for ordinary humans ("little people"). Like other ethnic minorities cryptids experience cultural assimilation and racial stereotyping, become less familiar with ancestral customs and languages, and interbreed with the majority. In 1919 several counties in northern California and southern Oregon seceded, forming the State of Jefferson. Neither the new state nor the earlier  discovery of cryptids greatly affected United States or world history, with events such as the Chinese invasion of Tibet, 1973 oil crisis, and Iranian hostage crisis still occurring. Most American Sasquatch live in the state; although they are still a small minority, size is a protected class in Jefferson, with anti-discrimination law guaranteeing reasonable accommodation. Most stories depict Governor Bill Williamson, Jefferson's second Sasquatch leader, who during the late 1970s and early 1980s meets Charles Kuralt, Jerry Turner, Nobuo Fujita and a Yeti Dalai Lama. From the state capital of Yreka he promotes his small, rural, and obscure  state to the nation and world as an example of how different species can peacefully cooperate.
