  • Chivalry: A Jake Savage Adventure on Sep. 04, 2011

    I enjoyed this dark tale of Medieval derring-do, for the mystery it did NOT explain. Too many stories give us cut-and-dried situations, with endings too pat to thrill us. Mark Lord seems a rising dark star. Anna Sykora
  • Alt Hist Issue 3: The Magazine of Historical Fiction and Alternate History on Nov. 15, 2011

    If you enjoy unique and compelling speculative tales set in vivid eras of historical conflict, this collection is for you. I particularly enjoyed the two U.S. Civil War tales: "Riders on the Storm," with its wildly imaginative premise, and "Bummers," which realistically portrays a little-known facet of that war... The other three tales are also dramatic and very well-written, and really made me think. Thanks to editor Mark Lord for this stunning issue, and I hope there will be many more to come. Anna Sykora
