Norman Spinard (? spelling) wrote an interesting novel called The Iron Dream, which was his concept of a novel written by Adolf Hitler.
In the alternate universe created by Spinard, the communists seized control of Germany in about 1920-22, forcing the Nazis to leave. Adolf ended up in Grenich Village New York writing SciFi.
The novel is out of print now, but would be interesting for any one familiar with Adolf Hitler's personality. It might be found in some used book store.

My copy is sitting on a bookshelf somewhere. Despite three tries, I could not get into it.
For those that might be interested, however, half.com has used copies (http://half.ebay.com/search/search.jsp?nthTime=1&product=books&keyword=The+Iron+Dream&x=12&y=11) at good prices.
:m: Peace.

Read it back in the mid 80s. Interesting approach, but I didn't find it particularly well written. But that's just my own personal opinion. I think I still have a copy boxed up in the attic with my other old sci/fi books.

Ooooh, could you send it over this way Coldrake? :)
P.S. Is it Cold Rake, or Col Drake? Or Cold and Drake? Just curious.

I'll have to put on the heavy coat and make a trip up into the attic. If I find it, you're more than welcome to it. Where is "over this way"?
It's Cold Rake. I think.:)

Thanks for sacrificing your exposables and sinuses for me. I'll pay for any frostbite and freezer-burns you might experience from being in a cold attic, as well as full chicken soup refund guarantee. :)
Over here comprises of a large island of rock and snow, otherwise known as Canada. Or small America. Or "the 51st state", as it is most affectionately known by me and my familiars. :D

Canada? Then I take back what I said about cold. I'm just a southern boy, down here in one of those former secessionist states here in ElvisPresleyville. We go into a panic when we see snow flakes.:)

lol, ElvisPresleyville ... I hope you guys know he's dead. :eek:
:D
Say, let's make this a fair bargain: You send me Iron Dream, and I will send you some snow. :) I wonder how many stamps it will take to airmail a freezer compartment? hmmm..
