Just wondering if there are any fictional alternative history books on the English Civil War. Seems to be a ton of them on the American Civil War. Would like to read one on the ECW. |

If a fantasy element is ok I recommend "A_Midsummer_Tempest" by Poul Anderson. link x42 |

If comics serials are included in your search: The Adventures of Luther Arkwright by Bryan Talbot Wiki page here link Most action takes place in London in a 1920's-ish steampunk-ish tinged parallel universe where the monarchy was never restored and the commonwealth remains and has gone more totalitarian/puritan/corrupted. It is a limited series (9 issues) and has been published online so you are not getting into the "collect them all" syndrome you get with some comics. There has been a sequel (Heart of Empire, same sort of length, deals with consequences of the first serial). I highly recommend both (in order). |

The 1632 series by Eric Flint and others mainly affect the Thirty Years War (thanks to plonking down a West Virginian mining town from this century down in Thuringenwald in 1631), but it surely has an effect on the British Isles. History books from the future can be dangerous. |
