Norton The Third tips its hat to the alternative history literary genre, proposing a single (craven) act on July 2, 1863, that determines the outcome of the United States Civil War. After only a brief visit to the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, the story races off in its own direction, into the modern era.
