The Russia Chronicles, by Andrew Anzur Clement, a six volume alternative history (my favorite genre) of Russia, spanning the time frame of 2006-2030. I'm almost finished with volume 1, The Streets of Moscow, and will be starting the next one, The Siberian Spirit. Very good reading even if he does get some of the names a bit misspelled and there are times I feel that he could have used a proofreader. The storyline is both interesting and intriguing.
