1588: Queen Elizabeth is felled by an assassin's bullet. Within the week, the Spanish Armada had set sail, and its victory changed the course of history. 1968: England is still dominated by the Church of Rome. There are no telephones, no television, no nuclear power. As Catholicism and the Inquisition tighten their grip, rebellion is growing.

I do not get the hype about this book at all, I really didn‘t see the point in it.

It is a book of linked stories about different people living in an alternate history, you‘d think it would be amazing however none of the characters or stories linked up in any way that made sense.

I gave it two stars simply because I enjoyed the chapter about Eleanor, otherwise this was a total pan for me 😣

What Britain would be like if Queen Elizabeth I had been assassinated. Will be so sad once it's finished.

If QE1 had been assassinated…begins the premise of this SF work endorsed by Anthony Burgess!
