The following is the second posting of the net alternate history list.
The list is about 10% longer than the original posting.

A number of submissions e-mailed to me since the first posting of this
list in early April have not been included. Part of this is the result of
the local microVax eating some mail, and part because I have not had
adequate time to evaluate some of the submissions. My apologies to the
submitters (particularly repnomar@stanford); I'll try real hard to include
your entries as I work on version 3.

Anyway, if you have additional entries and/or corrections to old entries,
please e-mail them directly to schmunk@spacsun.rice.edu. Thanks.

THE ALTERNATIVE HISTORY LIST

Version 2 - 1991 May 24

This is a list of (nominally) SF stories involving Alternate Histories, or
What If? stories. This list will be re-posted whenever a large number of
changes or additions have been made.

In order to keep the length of the list down, only English-language stories
have been included. Even so, the list is incomplete. Your suggestions for
additional entries would be appreciated, as would corrections, amendments,
etc., to current entries. Follow-up postings to r.a.s may not be noticed, so
please send submissions by e-mail to schmunk@spacsun.rice.edu in order to
guarantee consideration.

Despite blurring of boundaries, an attempt has been made to separate stories
into the following categories:

Alternate Histories: Storyline essentially limited to one alternate history.
   Some multiple timeline stories are included as long as crosstime travel is
   not involved. Note: stories of alien intervention in Earth's past are given
   their own category below.
Crosstime Stories: Storyline involves more than one, and frequently many,
   potential histories, with sideways time travel often the major feature.
   Such stories may also include "vertical" time travel.
Changing the Past: Storyline involves someone changing the course of history,
   either accidentally or deliberately, often after time-travel into the past.
Alien Intervention: An alternate history in which an invasion from outer space
   provides the difference between that history and ours.
World is "Different": Alternate world/history has different physical laws from
   ours, a common theme being "magic works". The alternate world must still
   be recognizably "Earth".

Also listed are:

Not Classified: Stories/novels recommended for this list but about which 
   insufficient information has been provided for categorization.
Rejected: Stories/novels which have been recommended, but are IMO unsuitable,
   for inclusion in this list. These include secret histories, miscellaneous
   time travel stories, etc.

If you disagree with the category into which a story has been placed, please
do not hesitate to send me a message with an explanation of what its correct
category should be.

No attempt has been made to indicate which stories are "good" and which are
"poor". Sorry.

In examining the entries, please note that:

1) A series of dashes in place of the author's name indicates that the story/
book is a sequel or part of the same series as the story/book in the preceding
entry.

2) Short stories are generally followed by at least one reference to where they
may be found, though not necessarily to the first publication of the story.
References to book titles include the author/editor's name only if that person
is not the author of the short story.

3) Abbreviations frequently used in references are:
<AH> = ALTERNATIVE HISTORIES (eds. Waugh and Greenberg)
<Alt> = ALTERNATIVES (eds. Adams and Adams)
<BAW> = BOOK OF ALTERNATE WORLDS (ed. Adams)
<BT> = BEYOND TIME (ed. Ley)
f&sf = The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction
<HV> = HITLER VICTORIOUS (eds. Benford and Greenberg)
IAsfm = Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine
<IIHHO> = IF IT HAD HAPPENED OTHERWISE (ed. Squire)
<WMHB#> = WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN? VOL. # (eds. Benford and Greenberg)
<YBSF#> = THE YEAR'S BEST SCIENCE FICTION, #TH ANNUAL COLLECTION (ed. Dozois)

4) In story descriptions, times are all Anno Domini (AD; also known as CE,
Christian Era) unless otherwise specified.
