I'm not sure if the Destroyermen series counts, but just in case: A couple of obsolete WW2 destroyers travel to an alternate Earth where humans never evolved and join forces with seafaring humanoid lemurs to fight agains an horde of cannibalistic lizardmen. :v:

Also some of the sailors gently caress the lemurs. That's an important plot element, y'know.

I agree, I absolutely loved How Few Remain (and have it autographed!), One of the reasons it worked was because there was no parallel war that Turtledove was mirroring from for 1881. So we got early trench warfare, wild west fights in Arizona, and Roosevelt on the frontier. I think Turtledove is at his best when he has to make up new battlefields and wars and isn't copy pasting with new names.

Not to be a wet blanket or anything but I'm pretty sure the 1881 war was close-ish to the Franco-Prussian War.

Ah, I know very little about the Franco-Prussian War. I will have to look that up, thanks!

I read through the first couple chapters last night am a lot less sure of that statement. Like probably completely wrong.
