“A major work by an authentic master of alternate history.” – Booklist (Starred Review)



In the tenth year of the Change, the survivors in western Oregon live in a world without technology. Michael Havel’s Bearkillers hold the lands west of Salem in peace and order. To the east, the Clan Mackenzie flourishes under the leadership of Juniper Mackenzie, bard and High Priestess.



Together, they have held Norman Arminger—the warlord of Portland—at bay. With his dark fantasies of a neofeudal empire, Arminger rules much of the Pacific Northwest, spreading fear with his knights, castles, and holy inquisition. Even more dangerous, and perhaps Arminger’s most powerful weapon of all, is his ruthlessly cunning consort, Lady Sandra.



These factions haven’t met in battle because Arminger’s daughter has fallen into Clan Mackenzie’s hands. But Lady Sandra has a plan to retrieve her—even if it means plunging the entire region into open warfare…

Reviews for Meeting at Corvallis (#3 Change)

[A] richly realized story of swordplay and intrigue. The ensuing maze of intrigue, diplomacy, and battle comes up to Stirling's highest standards for pacing, world building, action, and strong characterizations. [The story] resembles one of the cavalry charges the novel describes--gorgeous, stirring, and gathering such earth-pounding momentum that it's difficult to resist.
