2.0 out of 5 stars A Huge Disappointment, 12 Jan 2009
By Barry Curran (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book with high hopes as Peter Tsouras is a writer who has dabbled in alternate history before with impressive results. But, once again, an American author has written a book dealing with what might have happened if Britain had intervened in the American Civil War in which the USA does everything right and the British do everything wrong.

Every major engagement in the book ends in victory for the USA's forces on land and sea.

This book throws up two questions.

Firstly, why did the author call the book "Britannia's Fist" given that
the Royal Navy is so easily beaten by the plucky Americans. ( A one -legged American soldier attacks a British ship single-handedly!)

Secondly, if the USA was such a potent force in 1863( the year the book begins in), then why did the American Civil War last so long?

There will be at least another book in this series but I won't be buying it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yet more yank self-praise, 19 Feb 2009
By P. Kennedy "Phil K" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As the previous reviewer says, another example of American authors going down the same ludicrous route (thats ROOT not ROWT !) of American success at every turn (they can't do that NOW - armed to the teeth for God's sake !)
This is just as awful and ill-thought out as Harry Harrison's abysmal anti-British dross "Stars and Stripes in peril" series
I gave up little more than two-thirds through and would have binned the book if it wasn't a loan !

1.0 out of 5 stars Brother Jonathan strikes again !!, 30 Mar 2009
By Fredrik Johnson "Pop" (Nynaeshamn, Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree compleatly with both earlier critics. A complete waste of time and money. The only redeeming feture (so far) is that at least old Jefferson Davies does NOT ride with clan. Well, not yet anyway. DO NOT BUY!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring
Yet another dull novel where plucky freedom-loving Americans easily defeat stupid, oppresive British forces. Boring, improbable and badly written - best avoided.
