Alternative story. Anthology: Harrison, Silverberg, Macouley

An alternative story is a very ancient and venerable genre, for nothing that fantasy. Even in the “History of Rome” of Titus Libya, the events that could follow in detail and seriously, think Alexander the Macedonian novel not to the east, but to the west. I wish Rome I was delighted … since the long time neither scientists nor the science fiction writers denied themselves the pleasure of putting another mental experiment on the topic “What would happen if? ..” In real anthology, stories are collected, the authors of which masterfully juggle probabilities and create new realities that invariably attracting reader attention. Here you will find works created by recognized masters of the genre, such as Stephen Baxter, James Morou, Fritz Leiber, Mark Laidlow, Harry Tertldav, Ian McLeod and others. Some stories are written specifically for this collection.
