The July/August 2025 cover for Asimov's Science Fiction magazine. The cover story is The Chronolithographer's Assistant, by Suzanne Palmer. The illustration depict a young man in old fashioned clothing turning the wheel on a lithograph press. There are vessels of brightly coloured liquids on nearby tables and shelves. The background is dissolved into fuzzy shapes of trees, with two malevolent-looking futuristic drones emerging.

I just finished reading a #HarryTurtledove alternate series where Custer is a character. (There was no Little Big Horn and he survived into WWI.) He is not portrayed kindly.

The Fight Goes On by #HarryTurtledove
Competitive time travel, ‘Schrödinger's Archduke,’ and why it is so hard to book a hotel room in Sarajevo on June 27th, 1914.

#HarryTurtledove 's writing is comfort food for me. His history chops are top notch, add details in weaponry, tactics, and personnel. He can't write a decent love or sex scene though.

Check out the hang gliding Cahokians taking on Roman Legions in the Clash of Eagles series by Alan Smale.

Pete Hegseth would make a great character in a #HarryTurtledove alternative history novel. Heck, let's make Hegseth, say, Secretary of Defense of the United States. Heck of a story here, Mr. Turtledove.

Reading #HarryTurtledove 's #WORLDWAR / #COLONISATION 📖 #alternativehistory #scifi #bibliophile #booknerd 🤓 #booklove #readingiscool #booksareawesome

Read #HarryTurtledove 's "Guns of the South" where a rich, racist, South African tech genius creates time travel and sends racist South African mercs back to 1864 with modern weapons to change the course of the Civil War.

Makes me wonder what Elon Musk is up to.

Yeah, I can spell. Just can't type. JOE STEELE. Now that I think of it, with a South African tech genius in charge, it's only a matter of time before he creates time travel and sends racist South African mercs back to 1864 with modern weapons to change the course of the Civil War.
#HarryTurtledove

Didn't you write a book with what we're currently living through? I think it was called JOE STEEL. #HarryTurtledove
