Default Re: OT - Counting God

I had trouble tracking down that one. I'm used to associating Turtledove with alternate history, along with series that continue long past my patience, and so naturally tried to track it down at Uchronia. Not helped by the fact that the term "the road not taken" is used quite alot in alternate history. It sounds like a story I'd like to read. I thought the name Eric Iverson sounded familiar. It's one of Turtledove's psuedonyms I think.

In a like vein is Turtledove's series where Aliens invade earth because they sent a probe 800 years ago, and how much could a race grow in a mere 800 years?. Personally the first trilogy was good, the second series rode the fame of the first in my opinion, and the finale went absolutely nowhere, in a narrative sense. I kept expecting something to actually happen, but no at the last page I went "What the?" when I realised it was finished.
