A review by pyonir
United States of Japan by Peter Tieryas
5.0
As soon as I heard about USJ, I was looking forward to reading it. I absolutely loved [b:Bald New World|18760990|Bald New World|Peter Tieryas|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1390586855s/18760990.jpg|26657873] and USJ did not disappoint.
Peter Tieryas does a great job at storytelling. His world building is great and character development is great as well. The writing in USJ continues this trend as he really puts you into the world you are reading about. The comparison to "The Main in the High Castle" is obvious and everywhere, but I liked that USJ brought a bit of a sci-fi feel to it. The technology throughout the book is more advanced than what we have today, even though most of the book takes place in the late 1980s.
Overall, if you enjoy alternate history with a touch of sci-fi, check it out!
