Crosstime Traffic
Harry Turtledove · 6 novels · 2003–2008
Harry Turtledove's Crosstime Traffic novels are set on an Earth that has discovered travel to alternate timelines where history unfolded differently, exploited commercially by the monopoly company that gives the series its name. Aimed at young-adult readers, the loosely connected books -- including Gunpowder Empire, Curious Notions, and The Disunited States of America -- each send a young protagonist into a different divergent world.
