Underground Airlines (July 2016)by Ben H. Winters Alt-history meets social SF in a story of modern America where the Civil War never happened and slavery is still legal in four states. This well-crafted, character-driven genre-blend will attract speculative fiction buffs, but also offers strong cross-over potential for literary/historical fiction readers who don't mind a speculative framework. (Think Jo Walton's My Real Children.)Those impatient for a copy of Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad (currently in Oprah-level high demand), will find just as dramatic, disturbing, and timely an exploration of racism, slavery, and American identity here.
