Hugo Award winner Harry Turtledove is the master of alternate history. In American Front he envisions World War I as it may have been if fought on American soil. The United States and Germany clash with the Confederacy, France, and Britain as the machines of modern warfare litter the landscape with carnage. Meanwhile, oppressed southern blacks head toward a fateful confrontation.

Would you listen to American Front again? Why?

I would. It's an impressive book.

What other book might you compare American Front to and why?

It's just as good as How Few Remain, and also better in some ways.

Which scene was your favorite?

The introduction to Jake Featherston.

Who was the most memorable character of American Front and why?

Featherston. We get some background on him. Custer too, but to me, he was annoying.

Any additional comments?

A must-have for any alternate history or Harry Turtledove fan.

Turtledove does it again, Guidall as well.

I wish the story focused a little more on the interesting chracters and not the filler ones but still a good story over and will definitely be buying th he next one. I wish this book had more of the Red revolution in it.

I wish we would have heard more from the point of view of Generals. The closest we get is an aide to Custer, who is the same buffoon he was in How Few Remain.

I also wish we knew more about what was going on in Europe. We know more about Argentina and Chile than we do about Italy, for example.

Enjoyed this immensely, very few boring chapters at all. Really excited to read the rest of the series.

The ending is straight up thrilling.

Excellent Sequel

This is peak Turtledove. All the different characters and all the slight differences in history like Frank Ferdinand being blown up and not shot. But George Guidell really sells this book and all the rest in this series he narrates (unfortunately he doesn’t narrate the setting accounts). All characters having different voices and having different feels in the the voice depending upon the situation of the character, unlike most narrators just read the book out but this is on a whole other level.

Amazing story and narration

Great book and my favorite reader to boot. If you don't like conjectural thought though give this one a miss.

Great
