I've deen dissappointed with the Civil War series. I think Guns of the South is his best, but I've lost interest in the last few books.

I thought the last one sucked. It wasn't really even "what if" anymore. He was just rewriting Hitler and WWII and putting different names on it. As soon as he mentioned Pittsburgh, I said, oh Stalingrad, okay, and I knew the whole story from there. Weak or lazy effort I thought.

I am still loving the lizard series that started in WWII though. Some great big ideas to ponder in that series. Gotta love Fleetlord Atvar, a truly great character.

A also think his two recent Pearl Harbor books were wonderful but I hope he doesn't keep that series going as I don't think he really has anywhere big to go.

Anyway, I always buy his books, even the ones I don't think I'll like.
