Turtledove is a master at alternative history. This is the first of three books set in an alternate earth where nomadic tribes, settled barbarians and effete romanesques clash. The relationships between man and woman, man and ruler and types of civilizations are shown with entertaining clarity. The capability and potential of all people is subtly promoted. Turtledove does a great job in writing novels that both entertain and cause one to ponder things we often take for granted. I recommend the book and am now reading the 2nd of 4.
