Can you recommend some good story alternate history novels?

A third option could be 'Black Butterflies' by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. It offers a different perspective on the era of World War I, exploring the social and cultural aspects through an alternate history lens. The novel delves deep into the lives of the characters and shows how the war could have affected them in different ways than in our traditional view of history.

Sure. 'The Man in the High Castle' by Philip K. Dick is a great one. It presents an alternate future where the Axis powers won World War II. Another is 'Altered Carbon' by Richard K. Morgan, which has a future with a very different concept of human identity and immortality based on technology. And 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson also creates an interesting alternate future world filled with unique cultures and technologies.

One well - known Aztec alternate history novel is 'Aztec Century' by Eric Flint and David Drake. It presents a different view of the Aztec civilization's development and its interactions with other cultures.

There's also 'Lincoln in the Bardo' which, while not a traditional alternate history in the sense of changing major historical events directly related to Lincoln's presidency, offers a unique and somewhat otherworldly perspective on Lincoln and his relationship with his son. It uses a very inventive narrative style to explore themes of grief, love, and history.

Sure. 'SS - GB' by Len Deighton is an interesting alternate history novel. It's set in a Britain occupied by the Nazis. The story follows a detective as he tries to solve a murder in this new and oppressive world. It shows how the normal life of the British people would be changed completely. Also, 'The Plot Against America' by Philip Roth is worth reading. It tells a story of what could have happened if Charles Lindbergh had become President and how it would have affected the United States, especially the Jewish community.

One great 'Roman Empire alternate history novel' is 'The Eagle of the Ninth' by Rosemary Sutcliff. It takes the reader on a journey through Roman Britain with a young Roman officer on a quest. Another is 'Lustrum' by Robert Harris, which gives a vivid portrayal of the political intrigue in ancient Rome. And 'I, Claudius' by Robert Graves is also a classic in this genre, showing the power struggles and family dramas within the Roman imperial family.

There is 'The Heart of Redness' by Zakes Mda which, while not strictly an Afrikaner - only alternate history novel, still offers an alternate view of South African history that involves Afrikaner elements. It delves deep into the cultural and historical fabric, showing how different events could have shaped the present. In this novel, the exploration of the amaXhosa and their interactions with other groups, including Afrikaners, is presented in an alternative light.

Sure. 'The Yiddish Policemen's Union' is a good example. It imagines an alternate history where the state of Israel was not established and instead there is a large Jewish settlement in Alaska. Then there's 'Anathem' by Neal Stephenson which has elements of alternate history, exploring different societies and how their histories could have diverged in a rather understated yet profound way. And 'Pavane' by Keith Roberts shows a world where the Catholic Church has a much stronger hold on society due to a different historical development.

One great ww2 alternate history novel is 'Fatherland' by Robert Harris. It presents a world where the Nazis won the war. Another is 'The Man in the High Castle' by Philip K. Dick. This one imagines an America occupied by the Japanese and the Nazis after the war. Also, 'SS - GB' by Len Deighton is a good read, showing a Britain under Nazi control.

One example is 'The Man in the High Castle' by Philip K. Dick. It presents an alternate world where the Axis powers won World War II. The novel explores the consequences of this different historical outcome on society, culture, and individual lives.
