States of Deseret Kindle Edition

by William Morris (Author), Lee Allred (Author), Anneke Garcia (Author), Format: Kindle Edition

What if the territory of Deseret had never joined the Union and instead became its own nation? What if Leo Tolstoy or Nikola Tesla had converted to the LDS Church? What if Brigham Young had gone all the way to California instead of stopping in Utah? The genre of alternate history invites us to imagine how the past (and thus our present and future) would be different if different choices had been made. These eight stories provide glimpses at alternate historical trajectories for Mormons and Mormonism—of other states of Deseret.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little apprehensive but was pleasantly surprised
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

at first I was a little apprehensive about this, for a lot of reasons since I was unfamiliar with the authors and the subject matter. But I had nothing really to worry about and found this anthology pleasant and learned new things about Utah and LDS history, and American history in certain instances, or wanted to know afterwards.

Highly recommended to alternate history, a little context is good to have in case because there were some things that I had to look up, but that was my problem. Some stories were better than others, but I got to say the last story was the best, and scary for the implications this alternate what if of the State of Deseret. For Mormons and anyone else put in that scenario in general.

A lot better than I at first thought, and as an alternate history fan one of the best anthologies i read in a long time. Give it a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyable quick reads
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2017

While I enjoyed some stories more than others, as can be expected in a collection of such varied styles and tones, all were high-quality stories. The last one, "Subject to Kings," left me wanting more of that world and was worth the price of the anthology alone.

Most of the stories are a quick read, easy to pick up and put down while waiting etc.

I don't think folks unfamiliar with Mormon history and culture would get as much out of this book as those who are or were active members, but it's great for those who live Mormon culture but are willing to look at it with a critical eye and wonder how it would be different if the world was a bit different.

4.0 out of 5 stars I hope they do another one!

Lots of interesting concepts here and some nifty writing. The chat-form one has an interesting twist and the one set in 1938 gave me chills.
