Book descriptionUgh.I used to really enjoy Harry Turtledove. Hes the original master of alternate history, and his earliest works in this genre, such as Guns of the South, while kind of hokey, were generally taut, fast-paced thrillers that had decent plot hooks, some good twists and turns, and ultimately made for very satisfying vacation reads.This level of quality even held through his epic Worldwar Series, which ended up spanning eight novels published over a full decade. This was probably the high point of his career, in my opinion.His next grand series, The Southern Victory series, spanned FIFTEEN (sixteen, if you count How Few Remain, which you probably should) novels and, while not quite as good as the Worldwar run, still kept me engaged through to the very end. I definitely, however, was feeling some fatigue by the end of the run.Now, anybody whos read his alternate history books (DISCLAIMER: I have not and do not read any of his non-alt. history stuff, so the magical/fantasy and plain fiction is a mystery to me, though I hear at least the fantasy series suffer from the same issue as his alt. history does these days) knows that Harry has a pattern when he writes: each chapter moves simply across the viewpoints of each major character, which, in his longer series, can run to a couple of dozen. Its a simple-yet-effective tactic that keeps the action moving across the various locales that need to be covered, and, in past works, I didnt mind this device. HOWEVER... in The War That Came Early, the current series of which Two Fronts is a part... HOLY SHIT is this dragging. Were FIVE novels in, and nothing much of consequence has happened. Anywhere. The biggest twist [SPOILER ALERT] so far is that Britain and France, for about five minutes, decided to ally WITH Germany instead of against. This is AFTER they had already been at war with each other for a while.Oh, and Poland has been Germanys only reliable ally so far. Really.The end result of this MASSIVE PLOT TWIST has been to basically reset the entire goddamned war to where it stood in the first volume, with Germany and the Western Allies sitzkreiging in the West.Oh, and the German/Polish vs. Soviet front? Yeah, that fucker hasnt moved in four novels, either.I just dont get the essential point of this entire series: why does it exist? Worldwar was about humanity fighting back an alien invasion; thats a pretty great hook. The Southern Victory series gave us a world in which a smug CSA lorded it over a defeated USA, at least until the tide finally turned in the World War I analog. While the last chunk of that series, Settling Accounts, got a little too close to being a straight mirror of World War II, the sheer familiarity of our United States half-turned into a genocidal dictatorship carried it all forward.NONE of these possible kinds of hooks exist in The War That Came Early. I had to look up the series on wiki to figure out how many books had been released and Im frankly stunned that Ive already read four and half novels in this series. Major characters have died and the impact on the plot and the reader has been meh at best.And I think I know why.In Worldwar and The Southern Victory, a large number of the major characters were, well, prime actors on the events happening. Worldwar had FDR, Stalin, the alien](http://cdn08.dayviews.com/500/_u4/_u1/_u9/_u9/_u9/_u3/u4199939/19731_1511366846/DOCX_Two_Fronts_by_Harry_Turtledove_how_to_price_finder_online_offline_READ_BOOK_Two_Fronts_http.jpg)

Major characters have died and the impact on the plot and the reader has been meh at best.And I think I know why.In Worldwar and The Southern Victory, a large number of the major characters were, well, prime actors on the events happening. Worldwar had FDR, Stalin, the alien emperor, etc., all has primary characters that got their own chapters in Harrys rotating chapter methodology of telling a story. These characters were huge figures that made massively important decisions throughout the series, so those chapters riveted the reader and moved things along nicely.Same thing in Southern Victory; Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, the southern Hitler... all got plenty of direct action and thoughts recorded in those books. You felt like you were privy to the major decisions and how they came about, and therefore were vested in how the plot rolled forth.NONE of this exists in The War That Came Early. Five novels on, and every single goddamned character is some lowly shlub upon whom the action is just imposed, rather than them having any impact on it. The major plot points, such as what the hell is happening in this war thingy, are mentioned via lame, forced recaps of the So I heard that... nature between random pairs of Primary Character Shlubs and Some Other Guy Well Never Hear From Again. The closest we have to the characters we care about driving the action are a British Sergeant who was kinda sorta close to, but not really part of, a critical group of political plotters, and a Internationalist sniper in Spain who manages to blow the head off of someone who was VERY important in OUR timeline, but ISNT EVEN IMPORTANT IN THE BOOKS TIMELINE.I just... ugh. Ive started/punted this book and the last one multiple times, and Im dragging myself through it just because I _hate_ buying books and leaving them unread, and because I have enough respect for Turtledoves past to where I hope hes got some huge fuckin payoff planned for us at some point. That said, its going to take an awful lot of positive reviews of whatever he starts next for me to bite.Two Fronts by Harry Turtledove read thepiratebay eReader sale book
