Gáspár, András. Ezüst félhold Blues
Title trans.: Silver Crescent Blues
Divergence: 32 BCE
What if: An earthquake in the first century BCE opened a strait between Egypt and the Sinai,
linking the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and precipitating centuries worth of minor changes
in European and world history.
Summary: A man drops crosstime into a different 1980s, one in which the Industrial Revolution
wasn't so rapid and in which the Western European powers of France and Greater Britain are
preparing to finally drive the Ottomans out of the Balkans. Focus centers on a talisman
found in the secret burial mound in Budapest of the Islamic mahdi who conquered southeast
Europe in the late 1600s.
