The colonization of the eighth colony of Atlantis has gone well for the British, who have driven the French from its shores and have tightened their rule over the colonists through taxes on goods imported from Europe. Rebellion against King George reaches a crisis, and Victor Radcliffe, leader of the freedom fighters, determines to achieve independence for Atlantis, regardless of the cost. The sequel to Opening Atlantis provides the prolific creator of alternate histories the chance to rewrite the American Revolution, Atlantean style. Turtledove excels in exploring historical what-ifs with confidence in his ability to bring not only his characters but also his ideas to life. A good choice for most sf and speculative fiction collections. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
