This is one of the strangest SFF books I've read in many a moon. I'm not sure what I think of it. It morphs about halfway through from a fairly straight up alt history to a sort of SFF/Sci Fi mix.

I'm glad I read it and I'll be thinking about it for awhile.

A concept unlike any other I have seen. Set in the early 1900's the book starts with Europe just vanishing to be replaced by a completely alien ecosystem. From there the story keeps getting more intriguing.
