WIP: How Few Remain

[Sarsstock]

Well, I admit the idea of Mormons bringing the fight into Colorado is a bit of a stretch, but its not impossible. I recall reading that Brigham Young originally intended the mormon territory in America to be a Deseret state that basically made up the entire South Western United States, spanning all the way to the California shores.

It was the American President at the time, I forget which one that killed that idea and conviced Mr. Young to agree to the much smaller state of Utah. So in Turtledove's timeline, the Mormon's could easily look at expansion as simply "reclaiming what should have been theirs".

Now in regards to Mexico, your probally right. The empire was so bankrupt thanks to Maximillian that they really wouldn't be able to wage war against any outside army.

Don't get me wrong, I think it'd be a good idea to "mix it up" like that. If the game played out how the war did in the book, it'd be pretty boring, IMO.

I beleive that it was Grant but I am not sure about that either.

Originally posted by JamesJKirk I just reread How Few Remain a few weeks ago, to go through the series again before the new book comes out,

there's anyother one coming out? I just bought "Victorious Opposition" thinking I was caught up.

Damn right there's another book comming out. Its an entirely new series actually. This will be the "Return Engagement" series, begining with "Settling Acounts".

Ok, so I have all of them from "How Few Remain" to "Victorious Opposition", but to be honest I have only gotten to "Walk in Hell". I know I am a slow reader plus I have very little free time anymore, but this new one. Is it like a prelude to an alternate WWII like situation, a Cold War like deal, or is going to be something of a different thread?
