A new collection of alternate history stories speculates about how world history would have been changed if the great battles, from the battle for the Philippines during World War II to Joan of Arc’s campaign to free France, had been fought under different circumstances. This was the last book in the Alternate Generals Series. Not as good as the first two books but still interesting. The contents:

- The Road to Endless Sleep, James Fiscus
- Not Fade Away, William Sanders
- I Shall Return, John Mina
- Shock and Awe, Harry Turtledove
- A Good Bag, Brad Linaweaver
- The Burning Spear at Twilight, Mike Resnick
- It Isn’t Every Day of the Week, Roland Green
- Measureless to Man, Judith Tarr
- Over the Sea from Skye, Lillian Stewart Carl
- First, Catch Your Elephant, Esther Friesner
- East of Appomattox, Lee Allred
- Murdering Uncle Ho, Chris Bunch
Last Saturday when I tried to sign on to WordPress to post that day I got this message from my server provider.
WordPress Login Temporarily Disabled
We apologize for the inconvenience! You are seeing this message because your site has recently been targeted by attackers attempting to gain access to your WordPress Dashboard. In order to protect your site your WordPress Login page has been temporarily disabled.
Unfortunately, you will be unable to login to the Dashboard until the block expires.
There was a work around fortunately. I could go to ModSecurity in the cPanel and disable the protection that had me locked out. After doing the post I enabled it again.
Maybe two hours later after I had managed to get the posting done and wasted a lot of time trying to send a message asking how long it would be before the block expired I found that it had and I could sign on once more.
