My new review of the alternate-history adventure Hidden From Our Eyes is up on ManyBooks.
When Tom Hathaway, an aspiring pilot in the 1970s, hears a mysterious voice, he steps through an archway into a different timeline. Although this new world shares all the geographical features of Tom’s world, the language, culture and history are quite different. Hidden From Our Eyes, by James A. Fisher, explores Tom’s adventures in this intriguing alternate history.
The world-building is intriguing, with a readable blend of imagination and historical research. The locals don’t speak English, and it appears that British colonists never arrived to build colonies and plantations in what we’d call Virginia and North Carolina. Instead, Tom’s new home is a mix of cultures, with indigenous tribes living and working together, as well as travelers and long term residents from Europe. In this timeline, the descendants of Viking explorers live in controlled settlements, almost like reservations, on indigenous land. Local Native tribes prevailed, blending traditional beliefs with near-modern technology.
