I just found out about this book: THE UNITED STATES OF ATLANTIS
by Harry Turtledove
CLUB REVIEW
The king of alternate history, Harry Turtledove, once again masterfully rewrites history with this thrilling second book in his Atlantis trilogy—a world in which the eastern coast of America, split off from the rest of the continent millions of years ago, has become the site of a familiar, but crucially different, Revolution.
The war between Britain and France has ended with England driving the French from Atlantis, giving King George leave to tighten his control over the colonies. As part of a strategy to bend the colonists to their will, the Redcoats have seized the continent’s eastern coastal towns, depriving the Atlanteans of the markets where they sell their goods. In addition, the Crown has burdened the colonies with a reprehensible tax to defray the cost of the war.
But England’s arrogance has only strengthened the Atlanteans’ resolve to be free. To drum up support for the colonies, rebel leader Victor Radcliff sends emissaries to Terranova and France, determined to make the English pay for every parcel of land they dare occupy. Nothing will stop him from preserving the liberty of his people as a new nation is born—a nation that will change the world.
