Everyone loves a good "What If . . . ?" scenario.

These are our stories.

Again we travel from the depths of antiquity to, in just a few cases, the future. Join us in these adventures of queens and princesses, healers and warriors, stateswomen and scientists.

We'll visit Asia and Africa and the Americas and, yes, Europe.

All radically different and distinct, these tales share the common theme of addressing the question, What if things had gone differently? What benefits and improvements would we now enjoy?

What if the U.S. avoids the Civil War altogether?

What if nuclear energy skips fission and progresses directly to fusion?

Enjoy these wonderful stories and find out those answers and many more.
