Thanks for posting. I’ve been looking around for recommendations and I’m sure there’ll be a few titles I’ll enjoy. I love Asimov and Heinlein.

A good read in alternative history/scifi/fantasy is S.M. Stirling's The Change Series. This series is divided into two parts The Nantucket trilogy and the Emberverse Series. Very well written and interesting premise for both series.

The Nantucket series is about the island of Nantucket and the Coast Guard Sailing ship the Eagle getting sent back in time to the Bronze age.

The Emberverse series is the "flipside" of that story or What happened to the rest of the world when Nantucket and the Eagle were sent back in time.

A warning though. If female characters who engage in alternative lifestyles make you angry the Nantucket series has two of the main characters who are such but it is not a focus of the story just part of the characters background.

The emberverse series though had very little of such.

Stirling's Nantucket series is steeped in Conservative/Libertarian views on government etc. While the Emberverse series has all manor of government systems that rise from the ashes of "the Event", from Feudal Lords/Aristocracy and Democracies, a cult-like Theocracy and even Scottish Clans.
