But his writing talent goes much further. \u003ci\u003eWe Install \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a showcase of styles, from humor--in \"Father of the Groom,\" a scientist with a penchant for wild experimentation helps his love-struck son by synthesizing a wedding ring out of two carrots--to classic science fiction, as in the Hugo Award-winning \"Down in the Bottomlands\" and \"Hoxbomb,\" in which a regular guy just trying to make a living selling scooters has to deal with some very odd competition. The alternate history tale \"Drang von Osten\" begins on a bloody battlefield in World War II and ends somewhere quite different. In the brand-new \"Logan's Law,\" a man discovers that sometimes, second chances really do work out. The book's three essays tackle the diverse subjects of how to write alternate history, Tolkien's \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, and the history of Chanukah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe Install\u003c\/i\u003e will delight longtime Turtledove fans and new readers alike with its rich offerings from one of the finest craftsmen writing today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media Science \u0026amp; Fantasy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781504009423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Harry Turtledove","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38350401110197,"sku":"9781504009423","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_466430c9-a4e8-482c-9518-f57106eb793e.jpg?v=1611644660","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/we-install-and-other-stories-9781504009423","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
