3xT
Two Complete Novels and a
Selection of Shorter Masterworks
by a Hugo Award Winning
Master of Science Fiction Adventure.
Praise for the Science Fiction of Harry Turtledove:
“[In The Great War: Breakthroughs,] Turtledove displays his usual mastery at maintaining suspense across a broad canvas, with characters that fans will be glad to encounter . . . . A complete and skillfully executed tale.” —Publishers Weekly
“[Turtledove’s The Victorious Opposition is] almost impossible to praise too highly.” —Booklist
“Turtledove has proved he can divert his readers to astonishing places. He’s developed a cult following over the years . . . I know I’d follow his imagination almost anywhere.” —San Jose Mercury News
“The leading author of alternate history.” —USA Today
Hugo Award winner Harry Turtledove has garnered high praise for his best-selling alternate history science fiction, and he’s equally a master of science fiction adventure, as he proves in this new Baen MegaBook containing two complete novels and a baker’s dozen of brilliant shorter works. Earthgrip—Young Jennifer Logan just wanted to teach Middle English, but ended up on an interstellar trading ship headed for the adventure of a lifetime. Noninterference — The Survey Service was supposed to observe alien worlds, without any interference. Then, an expedition broke the rule and an entire planet was at risk! Kaleidoscope —Suppose a vampire was sent to catch Jack the Ripper? Suppose all the galaxy has starships, but hasn’t developed Earth’s military technology and firepower. And much more.
Publisher’s Note: 3 X T was originally published as three books: Earthgrip, Noninterference and Kaleidoscope. This is their first combined publication.
