One of the things I’ve been considering, in my desire to do another pure AH novel, is the problem of finding a setting that doesn’t require massive infodumping and/or crosstime travel. PODS in the Second World War, American Civil War and American Revolution are fairly common because they’re already fairly well-known, at least amongst the alternate history fanbase. A timeline set in a world so different to ours that there’s no points of compatibility might as well be a fantasy world.
I’ve been thinking about these ideas:
-A story set in a world where Cortes declared independence from Spain, shortly after the conquest of Mexico.
-A story set in a world where Prince Louis (or possibly King John) won the Magna Carta War.
-A story set in a world where Napoleon went to the Ottomans instead of Revolutionary France (or simply never had a chance to take power.)
What do you think?
