Book Log 2007 #43: In At the Death by Harry Turtledove

The last book in the Settling Account series of Turtledove's alternative history of the US, the war between the US and Confederates (and, by extension, Germany versus everyone else in Europe) comes to a close. Both sides comes to grips with the new political reality and the aftermath of the CSA's "population reduction" program for current and former slaves.

It's another solid entry in the series, as most of the characters are given a chance to return home or otherwise tie up the loose ends in their plot line. Even with that, there is some room for the series to continue, given the number of discussions between characters about possible war between the US and Germany. Given that the two have been allies throughout the series, it's hard to think why this would be so much of a concern unless we're being set up for something down the road.
