		Harry Turtledove has again produced an engaging new episode in his North vs. South alternate history saga, Settling Accounts: The Grapple.
		It’s the third in the Settling Account series, but tenth in a timeline that began in his 1997 How Few Remain, in which the Battle of Antietam never happened, General Robert E. Lee captures Philadelphia, and the Confederacy and the United States become permanent enemies.
		Historian Turtledove, an alternate history standard bearer, has brought us through the timeline with full plausibility and story-telling skills that make for engrossing reading as we follow the fortunes of emblematic characters through war, peace, desperation and triumph.

		And in the hands of the incomparable Harry Turtledove, readers are treated to a masterful vision of what might have been.
		Turtledove does a geat job with the alternate history part and the "if this happened this way then this would be like this", I just think it could be a much faster(and better) read if it wasn't weighted down with so much repitition and unnecessary dialogue.
		Turtledove continues to use multiple personal perspectives to paint an intimate portrait of the times, and his habit of killing off a few of these characters in each novel simply serves to underline the "reality" of the story.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Settling Accounts: Return Engagement
		Harry Turtledove was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1949.
		Settling Accounts depicts realistic war, and its author makes sure his readers understand that in real life, war is never fun.
		Turtledove goes to great lengths to accurately depict the blood and guts spilled at home and on the battlefield.

	Review of Harry Turtledove Settling Accounts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		They went on to cede several parts of the old CSA, including Kentucky and west Texas (known to the USA as Houston) to themselves, just as parts of Germany were ceded from them after their defeat in Europe in 1918.This is one of several similarities between Turtledove's world and reality.
		What Harry Turtledove seems to be able to do so well is to make it all so believable, as any good author should, of course, and not just a slight reworking of actual events.
		Harry Turtledove does not dwell on whether or not he likes to dabble with water colours, oils or any other media for that matter.

	Settling Accounts: Drive to the East by Harry Turtledove
		The latest installment in Harry Turtledove’s “what if the South won the Civil War” series, Settling Accounts: Drive to the East, is a fast-paced juggernaut, as nimble, and well-engineered as the 1940s Confederate tanks that battle to divide and overrun a hard-pressed United States.
		Turtledove’s website already lists two more novels in the series as in the works between now and 2007.
		Scenarios in parallel Turtledove universes strike a bell, like the race to develop an atom bomb, which also occurs in the Worldwar tetralogy, part of an eight book series in which World War II stops in its tracks when Earth is invaded by lizards from space.

		One thing that differed from real life was that in Turtledove's world tanks (tracked fighting vehicles) are called 'barrels', which might not be so irritating if he'd not chosen a name that was also used for an important part of the tank (i.e.
		The second volume of the 'Settling Accounts' series picks up right where the last one left off, with the United States and the Confederate States at war once again.
		It seems that Turtledove has decided to introduce an element of 21st century warfare to his 1940s battlefield as a way of commenting on current events, suggesting his own attitudes to today's violence.

		Harry Turtledove's alternative history continues to intrigue, inspire, and sometimes fatigue me. In this world, the South won the Civil War and then defeated the US again in the Second Mexican War in the early 1880s.
		Turtledove once again portrays a host of characters from both the US and the CS, jumping from one storyline to another several times in each chapter.
		Picking up where he left off in "Settling Accounts: Return Engagement," we see the United and Confederate States as they hurl themselves at each other, with a series of bloody battles in the air, on the ground and all over North America and the world.

	Below The Beltway » Harry Turtledove
		When we last left the world that Harry Turtledove has crafted in seven books starting with How Few Remain, the Confederacy, firmly in control of Jake Featherston and the Freedom Party was launching its Operation Barbarossa-like attack on the United States and war was once again returning to the North American continent.
		I have yet to start reading Harry Turtledove’s Settling Accounts series, which deals with the continuing story of a world where the Confederacy won the Civil War.
		Harry Turtledove could have just as easily titled this final volume of the American Empire series The Triumph of Evil, because that is exactly the story unfolds over the seven years that the story that unfolds covers.

	Amazon.ca: Settling Accounts Drive to the East: Books: Harry Turtledove (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In Turtledove's engrossing second book in the alternate history master's Settling Accounts trilogy (after 2004's Return Engagement), Confederate forces, in an undeclared war of revenge that coincides with WWII, have split the United States from the Ohio River to Lake Erie, but this only stiffens Yankee resolve.
		But the real strength of the book, and of the whole alternate-history saga of which it is neither least nor last, lies in the juxtaposition of events not usually associated with people who could be readers' parents or grandparents.
		The pacing practically compels one to keep reading, but after a certain point, Turtledove's not-just-refutation but massacre of "American exceptionalism" may bring some readers to the point of putting the book away and seeking a soothing, cozy novel by Stephen King.

		Turtledove's depiction of how easily the C.S.A. could carry out genocide—and do so with less cost to the conscience than the Germans experienced in the real Holocaust—coupled with the "so what?" reaction of Northerners when this is publicized makes a disturbing commentary on the state of race relations in both parts of our country.

		Turtledove could have written a great book, even working from the same premise, but no, he had to rewrite WW2.
		The death of my particular favourite was a shock – even if it’s a practice of Turtledove to keep the story about its characters.
		Turtledove gets too preachy at times, although he avoids most of the ‘weapon’s of choice’ clinches.

	Return Engagement: Settling Accounts Trilogy, Book I -- book review
		Turtledove has an annoying habit of not only repeating character traits (more about that below), but also words and phrases used in narration.
		Three times in the first one hundred fifty pages, there are variations of somebody telling a dark joke or comment and everybody laughing because "laughing is better than screaming," or something to that effect.
		The second obvious problem is, as is always the case with Turtledove, character repetition.

		A charismatic Jake Featherson (Adolf Hitler) tells the population that their ills are caused by the terms of the previous war and he’s not going to take it anymore.
		As usual, Turtledove shows the world through the eyes of not one, not two, but close to 20 different people from all over the map.
		Since his story has gone on for almost 80 years, older generations die off of old age or war and the story picks up with their offspring.

	Settling Accounts Book 2: Drive To The East by Harry Turtledove
		As, in Turtledove's version of events, the US lost the civil war, they did not aid the rebels and Mexico is still an empire.
		Those familiar with Turtledove's other books will not be surprised at the breadth of his story nor that it is told from numerous viewpoints.
		He does draw his stories on a very large canvas and as war is often a theme, especially World War II, in which he is clearly very knowledgeable they have an excitement and pace to them.

	Review of SETTLING ACCOUNTS: RETURN ENGAGEMENT by Harry Turtledove
		Without a formal declaration of war, the South has invaded the northern states, their blitz-krieg driving from Kentucky through Ohio, threatening to cut the larger nation in half.
		Harry Turtledove's immagining posits a different America--one where a slightly different set of circumstances (Lee's orders were never discovered by the Union and the South therefore won the Civil War) led to dramatically different results.
		As Turtledove instructively demonstrates, cruelty and evil are not limited to Germans or far-off terrorists but created by circumstances.

	The Grapple (Settling Accounts Trilogy, Book 3) (Harry Turtledove)
		This, the latest contribution to the "Settling Accounts Series," is a predictable, formulaic presentation in the, by now, recognizable Harry Turtledove style.
		Enjoyable, but the book is easily viewed as a frottage.
		It would be exciting for Turtledove to do a little extemporaneous writing and suprise his faithful readers.

		Subjects - Science Fiction & Fantasy - Authors, A-Z - T - Turtledove, Harry
		I am great fan of alternative history books and read a lot of Turledove and the superior SM Stirling.
		Turtledove is trying to parallel the second world war with Featherston obviously being Hitler, but Hitler defeated France, Belgium, Holland, Norway and Denmark in six weeks, throwing the British out at Dunkirk.
