History is an intricately woven tapestry hanging in space and time. Remove one thread, replace it with another, and the entire picture changes.

Slender Threads by L G Parker includes One Stay Bullet - a different Battle of Shiloh and The Story Behind One Stray Bullet including subsequent what-ifs, and at how the battle defined the lives and future direction of such as Lew Wallace, James Garfield, Henry Morton Stanley and George Erasmus Dixon, inventor of the submersible CSS Hunley.

What if Winston Churchill had died at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898, or after being knocked down in the street in New York in 1931? Slender Threads looks in detail at subjects such as Lee's Triumph in an alternate history of the Battle of Evelington Heights during the American Civil War, or the Leyte Gulf plans of the Imperial Japanese Navy in World War Two.
