 | | There are other stories that are as good as the Sanders, but here lies yet another problem with this book: A considerable portion of its contents are, in fact, not alternate history stories. |
 | | A few concern themselves with the existence of alternate timelines (Larry Niven’s gimmicky and all too obvious “All the Myriad Ways” and Jack Chalker’s gripping and haunting “Dance Band on the Titanic,” to name two), without actually taking place in an alternate history. |
 | | One story, Allen Steele’s wry deconstruction of juvenile pulp SF, “The Death of Captain Future,” fails to incorporate even the slightest notion of alternate history (or, if it did, that aspect went right over my head). |
