Product Description:
England has driven the French from Atlantis, giving King George leave to tighten his control over the colonies. The Redcoats have seized the continent’s eastern coastal towns, depriving the Atlanteans of the markets where they sell their goods as part of a strategy to bend the colonists to their will.
Instead, England’s tactics have only strengthened the Atlanteans’ resolve to be free. As leader of the revolutionaries, Victor Radcliff will make the English pay for each and every piece of land they dare to occupy, and will stop at nothing to preserve the liberty of his people as a new nation is born—a nation that will change the face of the world.

Even the key cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia, are included, albeit all with different names and some characteristics.
However, the book tends to go a bit deeper into topics such as slavery and the social impacts it has in this alternate ... Read More

The war with France is over as England has defeated the French; forcing them out of Atlantis. King George sends troops to solidify his control even as the Atlanteans are already upset over no representation in Parliament.
When the Redcoats turn the eastern seaports into occupation zones, the locals are outraged as they no longer can freely sell their goods. Increasingly Atlanteans are discussing revolution as their liberties are being trampled. The rebels choose former English officer ... Read More

The book is a recap of the American Revolution. The attention of the typical reader will be on how Turtledove re-imagines the events. The main character, Radcliff, is the analog of George Washington. Largely, the flow of incidents parallels our history.
One note is that the distinctive geographic features and flora and fauna of the previous books are virtually moot here. The unique animals (like the honkers) that populated the earlier Atlantis have been largely hunted down in the populated ... Read More
