   This review is from: The Difference Engine (Gollancz S.F.) (Paperback)

   This book is the best `alternative history’ novel, and one of the best SF novels I have read so far.

   ut those lack the feeling of authenticity The Difference Engine manages to generate. There should be more books like this.
