I wonder if someone could add a list of his books, divided according to the series? For example, I know of two sequences: The Great War, and Colonisation. User:Tony Vignaux
I just added a statement to the effect that he's probably the best-known and most people author of Alternate History. Technically that's my POV, and I'm not sure where I would go to get a citation for this claim, but it seems obvious to me. I can name other authors who've written alternate history, but none who've written as many stories or been so consistently popular as Turtledove. Isomorphic 02:56, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I love Turtledove, but does anyone know if he uses a ghostwriter or assistants or something? Jeez, the guy is prolific. --Jfruh 03:07, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to include some criticisms or complaints of his writing style? I'm a fan, and I've read all of the TL-191 books (9 so far) in addition to Guns of the South and from reviews I've read, I think there is some widely shared criticisms of his writing. Namely that he's very redundant with certain aspects of his characters. Such as how he mentions that Sam Cartsen has fair skin and sunburns easily every time we switch to his point of view. Also, some find his sex scenes a little out of place and/or weird. I personally could have done with out the Teddy Roosevelt and Robert E. Lee sex scenes. --Viper Daimao 14:29, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
As a way to strongly sugest someone write fuller articles about them. The books could also use them, except in many cases they need disambig. Similarly, a different name than "Pacific War" is needed because it's already in use by the historic WW II in the Pacific (AND timeline-191 also has it's own "Pacific War" article as well). Maybe something like Japanese Occupation of Hawaii. Jon 15:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I like the list. I haven't read all of those (yet...), but I don't see the one where Mahan becomes President. So which was it? Trekphiler 13:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Anybody have any idea what the new Atlantis trilogy is called? The first book, due out in December, is Opening Atlantis. Corvus cornix 18:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Would it be alright if I created a page for Into the Darkness? It seems that you do it for other of his books, so it shouldn't be a problem. I just didn't want to create it and have some people who have been working on pages for a long time yell at me. Its happened before. o_o;Silver seren 23:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
The recreated second contact link was redirecting to the Colonization series again, so I have cut it again since it's refering to the exact same article as the line above. Jon 21:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Title needs reformating: Worldwar / Colonization appears to read "Worldwar I Colonization" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.189.64.251 (talk) 17:55, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Someone added that Turtledove is friends with Limbaugh, is there proof to this? Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 22:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I would LOVE a Crosstime Traffic novel covering if the Louisiana Purchase never happened. Would the added resources help the French Empire? Would they have decimated Germay? Would Socialism have arrived earlier? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whiterussian1974 (talk • contribs) 04:38, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
The series has been officially named The War That Came Early. Please see the Del Rey website. Also, amazon.com lists the sequel, The War That Came Early: West and East. Commonlaw504 (talk) 22:55, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I've noticed that there is no mention in this article of Turtledove's short stories. Perhaps a list of short stories (or anthology contributions) could be added to this article?
R.E. (talk) 08:38, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
This is only a trilogy. The last volume was published in 2013. I've deleted the title of the fourth novel. Also, Turtledove deliberately made when it was set ambiguous; the eruption does not take place in 2011, as was previously claimed. Commonlaw504 (talk) 22:00, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
Could articles about the three novels and the short stories of the Atlantis series be created? It would help out with adding more info about Turtledove. The other books and short stories by Turtledove such as Joe Steele, Must and Shall, and Lee at the Alamo should have articles made about them, too. --75.68.122.13 (talk) 14:31, 18 January 2015 (UTC)Jacob Chesley the Alternate Historian

There is no summary nor any mention of the Videssos cycle, it can only be found in the detailed article at another Wikipedia page - Harry Turtledove bibliography... --Wisdood (talk) 09:27, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
