Now imagine that the Europeans arriving in the New World had chanced on these primitive creatures and seized the opportunity to establish a hierarchy in which the sapiens were masters and the \"sims\" were their slaves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the premise that drives the incomparable Harry Turtledove's \u003ci\u003eA Different Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e. The acclaimed Hugo Award winner creates an alternate America that spans three hundred years of invented history. From the Jamestown colonists' desperate hunt for a human infant kidnapped by a local sim tribe, to a late-eighteenth-century contest between a newfangled steam-engine train and the popular hairy-elephant-pulled model, to the sim-rights activists' daring 1988 rescue of an unfortunate biped named Matt who's being used for animal experimentation, Turtledove turns our world inside out in a remarkable science fiction masterwork that explores what it truly means to be human.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarry Turtledove is an American novelist of science fiction, historical fiction, and fantasy. \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e has called him the \"master of alternate history,\" and he is best known for his work in that genre.
