Maybe we should start a thread titled "Alt-history stories that weren't quite your least favorite but also weren't your most favorite either?"

I like it, but maybe i am bias as i am from the Netherlands myself and thus i like any TL which has "Netherlands Strong".As for "A blunted sickle" the author is from the Netherlands (AFAIK) so can't be suspected of any "Vichy shame" to be corrected.
- TimeRiders: Day of the Predator: our plucky teens get sent back in time by accident for once, meet a bunch of intelligent dinos, give them knowledge of tool use by accident, and somehow this changes history so dinosaur times never ended and humans never evolved. Apparently stone axes can defeat a meteor.
And yetAs for "A blunted sickle" the author is from the Netherlands (AFAIK) so can't be suspected of any "Vichy shame" to be corrected.

Hang on, though, he's about as English as they come, isn't he?

I used to like the series, actually met the author once and he seemed like a decent bloke. However his writing wasn't the best, also you forgot the Jack the Ripper one had a young H.G. Wells in it (because of course) and somehow the Communist Britian got into a Nuclear war with a Soviet Union.Luckily, at this point, the wiki runs out of plot summaries. However, I have a vague memory of another book having the PoD being that people find out that Jack the Ripper is a member of the royal family, and for some reason this causes a Communist revolution in the UK because apparently blind faith in the monarchy was all that was holding the British population back. Oh, and to justify why preventing this is bad, Commie!Britain ends up in a nuclear war.
Yeah, not
If you want decent young adult AH fiction then read the Levithan series, because whilst it's ridiculous the author has certainly done his historical research, it's just Westerfeld wanted Dieselpunk Imperial Germans vs Biopunk Brits.
Actually given how the series's ends a Nazi Germany is unlikely, although given how Russia was in this timeline still a decaying mess we could still have a biopunk Soviet Union...probably lead by Trotsky. Also Japan seemed to still be heading down the same route as OTL...so you win some you lose some I guess.I credit the Leviathan series for sparking my interest in zeppelins. It is certainly very good, if implausible, and sometimes I worry about the nightmares that will be this world's Nazi Germany and Soviet Union.
