A review by brucehoward
Her Majesty's American by Steve White
3.0
Interesting premise, distantly reminiscent of Harrison’s “A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!”.
Felt like the author Steve White put all of his effort into the back story and initial plot development only to trip over the challenges of writing convincing dialogue and avoiding stereotypical character development.
I’ve a soft spot for this kind of alternative history and predisposed as I was to give 4 stars, had to take back a star for its obvious shortcomings.
For what he got right, I’d definitely give the author’s next book a shot.
