Harlan, Thomas. The Time of the Sixth Sun
Divergence: c 1200 CE
What if: Japanese refugees discovered North America in the early 1200s.
Summary: Set in the starfaring 25th century (CE) of an Earth dominated by the Aztec and Japanese
empires.
Series note: Series including Wasteland of Flint House of Reeds, and Land of the Dead.
Three others — River of Ash, Rising Wind, and Abyss of Storms —
were also originally announced but were never published.
Comments: The gap between divergence and setting is so large and the intermediary period so
vaguely described that the allohistorical quality of the books is tenuous.
