Talk:The Valley-Westside War

From Turtledove

After reading the review, I'm rather excited about this one. TR 18:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I've never had much interest in Crosstime in general. Based solely on the title, I keep thinking of a cheerleading competition gone horribly wrong, and thus I find the title rather diminishes my ability to think this book will be worthwhile. But I realize in my head that that's not fair. Turtle Fan 19:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I've only read 3 at this point. Curious Notions was lame, all-in-all. Disunited States was fun more because HT hinted at all this cool stuff that would probably justify several volumes, although it presented an interesting enough story. The Gladiator was the best--possibly one of HT's best books all around.

I do like the idea of the cause of the war being the reason for travel rather than "let's make a buck". TR 20:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References

"This is perhaps one of the few instances in the Crosstime Traffic series where the other books are referred to." Not so. In Gunpowder Empire, the boy references the Curious Notions alternate. Another book (I forget which) references Agrippan Rome (the alternate of GE). TR 05:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
