Recensione:

“Turtledove [is] the standard-bearer for alternate history.”
—USA Today

“Turtledove’s Great War/American Empire series is an epic achievement, a meticulously worked-out alternate history of the 20th century’s great two-act tragedy. . . . Bravo! A fine performance by a master-craftsman.”
—S.M. STIRLING
Author of Island in the Sea of Time
American Empire: The Center Cannot Hold

“Turtledove never tires of exploring the paths not taken, bringing to his storytelling a prodigious knowledge of his subject and a profound understanding of human sensibilities and motivations.”
—-Library Journal

“We can be assured Turtledove will deliver on the promise of this uncompromising series.”
—Locus

American Empire: Blood & Iron

“Anyone who loves a good story with surprising plot twists and vivid characters will love this book. Anyone who loves history will love what Harry Turtledove can do with it.”
—LARRY BOND
New York Times bestselling author of Red Phoenix

“A masterpiece . . . Harry Turtledove’s novels are never as tense as when war looms on the horizon, threatening to break out but not yet arrived. [American Empire: Blood & Iron] covers some of the most treacherous ground of recent history, and it rarely puts a foot wrong . . . Sure to both please and terrify.”
—Sci Fi Weekly

“Nobody plays the what-if game of alternative history better than Turtledove. . . . This book begins a panoramic story, a new trilogy at least, that promises to be immensely fascinating.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
