Click for full imageYou know what always bugged the hell out of me about the whole north verses south thing? No dragons or magic crystal orbs. The north frees the south of: dragons! Right there on the cover, with King Lincoln watching the battle on his orb! It almost makes me proud to be Americaglish… or whatever.

Couldn’t Lincoln just turn around to watch his men die? Instead of watching them on his orb.
And what is it with these books using a font that looks like it was done in clip art.

Well im no historian but that’s definitely Shakespeare, Adolf Hitler, and Frank Sinatra jr.
Can it really claim to be alternate history when there’s dragons and crystal balls?
awesome dragon btw

Dont harry turtledove, david weber and Eric flint all have the same horrific orange font on all their books?
The small boxes around the M and T of marching through is a nice touch…
Id actually love to read that on a train and say to confused people “thats right, evil Lincoln AND a dragon”

I am having terrible problems just getting past the title. It has a rather overly dramatic font for a name like Peachtree which is kind of sappy. More flouncy girls in pink dresses skipping down lanes with fruit baskets then army destroying dragons.

you’re so right. “Marching through Peachtree”, sounds like one of those awful daytime TV movies about some single woman tring to raise her autistic adopted child in suburban america.

I think they missed an opportunity here.
I’m sure they could have crammed a few buxom wenches in…at the very least. There is a bit of space in between the flammed troops and the dragon.
And a couple of elves. Trolls even.
I do agree, that is a cool dragon.
PS. Isn’t there a difference between alternate history and reality? Am I being overly pedantic?
