My sort of alternate history novel Snapshot is free Jan 16 and 17, 2015. Here is the blurb:
For eighty million years, the Tourists have taken Snapshots of Earth, living replicas of continents. Life in the Snapshots quickly diverges from the real world, creating a universe where humans and animals from Earth’s history explore, fight, and sometimes meet themselves. Snapshots are linked by vents high above their oceans..
In 2014, the Tourists’ newest Snapshot catches Middle East Analyst Greg Dunne rushing toward Hawaii to join his wife, who just went into labor. The new Snapshot doesn’t include Hawaii, cutting Greg off from everyone he loves and thrusting him into the aftermath of a hidden, decades-old massacre, where Germans from a pre-World War II European Snapshot battle ranchers from a Korean War-era U.S. Snapshot. The prize: a wild, ancient Madagascar Snapshot that controls communications between dozens of Snapshots.
Caught between powerful opponents, and joined by a woman nearly driven mad by her past, Greg struggles to survive in this cutthroat new reality, to remain faithful to a family he may never see again, and to find a way back to his original Earth.
