Hitler Victorious: Eleven Stories of the German Victory in World War II (Garland Reference Library of the Humanities, Vol 624)

Rating:
Summary: A Wonderful Alternate History Anthology
Review: Probably the most used senerio for alternate history stories is a German victory in World War Two, (the second being a confederate victory in the Civil War.) 'Hitler victorious' gives several thrilling stories based on this theme. While many of the stories are slow and some can't help but seem a little repetitive, some of the stories rank among the great works of alternate fiction. Two of the best stories in the collection, 'Thor vs. Captain America,' and 'Moon of ice,' make reading this anthology worth reading alone. 'Thor' deals with the ancient Norse gods appearing midway through the war and throwing thier lot in with the Nazi's, wreaking havoc with America's war effort. 'Moon of ice' centers around Josef Goebbles' harrowing ordeal at the hands of the S.S. in the newly created S.S. kingdom of Burgandy. Fans of alternate history should get a kick out of this book and there is enough speculative fiction to entertain fans of mainstream science fiction. A lot of fun.
