Don't Breathe
Harry Turtledove is the undisputed "Master of Alternate History." He does not merely write fiction. He conducts forensic investigations into the "what ifs" of human survival. For four decades, he has dismantled our reality to see what happens when the wheels come off. Publishers Weekly didn't give him his title for his politeness; they gave it because no one else anchors speculative dread in such meticulous, granular research. His mantle holds the Hugo Award and multiple Sidewise Awards. He has also been honored with the John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction. Turtledove lives in the San Fernando Valley. He is a historian who knows that the only thing we learn from history is that nobody ever learns anything from history. Harry currently resides in Chatsworth, California.

Sovereign
November 1985 - An EgyptAir airliner is forced to land in Malta, its passengers caught between armed hijackers and clashing superpowers. In the control tower, Malta's Prime Minister faces impossible choices, decisions that will define his country's sovereignty, his own legacy and seal the fate of over ninety souls on board. SOVEREIGN is a gripping dramatisation inspired by the true hijack of Flight MS 648, a moment when politics, ideology, and human survival collided. With the dialogue between the control tower and terrorists drawn from actual court transcripts, it immerses readers in the tension of a nation pushed to its limits.
