What would life in England look like in 1940 had the British lost World War I, replacing Germany "s role in history? A powerfully gripping story of a closeted homosexual trying to survive in an alternate history England, Hugo finalist Ian R. MacLeod"s novella The Summer Isles took readers by storm in 1998. First published in Asimov"s Science Fiction, the novella explored what might happen had England become the equivalent of Nazi Germany. The novella went on to become a finalist for the 1999 Hugo Award and took home both the 1999 World Fantasy Award and the 1999 Sidewise Award for Alternate History, but has never been published in its original form... until now.
