How Few Remain Universe
Harry Turtledove · 11 novels · 1997–2007
How Few Remain opens Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory timeline, imagining a North America where the Confederacy won the Civil War. Set mostly in 1881-1882, it follows political and military figures on both sides of a divided continent as old grievances resurface into a new war. It's a single novel here, but the starting point for a much longer alternate-history sequence Turtledove extended across both twentieth-century world wars.
