Dr Harry Norman Turtledove is an American novelist, who has produced a sizeable number of works in several genres including alternate history, historical fiction, fantasy and science fiction.
Harry Turtledove attended UCLA, where he received a Ph.D. in Byzantine history in 1977.
Turtledove has been dubbed "The Master of Alternate History". Within this genre he is known both for creating original scenarios: such as survival of the Byzantine Empire; an alien invasion in the middle of the World War II; and for giving a fresh and original treatment to themes previously dealt with by other authors, such as the victory of the South in the American Civil War; and of Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
His novels have been credited with bringing alternate history into the mainstream. His style of alternate history has a strong military theme.
The Pacific Northwest is known for a certain weirdness. This story collection focuses on a little town where the Sasquatch mayor has to navigate the politics of local tribes, demands from the city, as well as the offshore merfolks’ rights. The narrative is propelled by fishing stories and ends with a wonderfully unlikely big fish tale.
Turtledove's Bill Williamson is relatable, realistic character. He's also a sasquatch governor of the State of Jefferson. These are low-stakes stories of American gubernatorial politics, and their slice of life qualities are refreshing from time to time. All three stories are enjoyable and, as this series always seems to be, easily readable.
