Review:
This pacy novel is an ingenious contribution to the burgeoning genre of "what if?" history. (Mail on Sunday on STARS AND STRIPES)
Plausible as well as highly entertaining. Harrison does a masterful job of demonstrating how this became the first modern war, and changed forever the way nations conducted their affairs. (Science Fiction Chronicle on STARS AND STRIPES)
Verve and pace carry it through. (Time Out on STARS AND STRIPES)
The tight writing and grasp of the period's technology is impressive. (Yorkshire Post on STARS AND STRIPES)

Harry Harrison is one of the grand masters of science fiction. Besides his action stories - he is the creator of THE STAINLESS STEEL RAT - he has become a leading author of the alternate-world novel. An authority on the American Civil War, his REBEL IN TIME is an exciting look at a different possible ending to that war. In A TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL, HURRAH! he takes a light-hearted look at a modern world where the Americans lost their 1776 revolution and Britain rules the world supreme. This trilogy examines the other side of that coin, a world in which America and Britain confront each other at the dawn of an era of mass destruction.
