Tunnel Through the Deeps

In a fascinating alternate 20th century, Harry Harrison's 'Tunnel Through the Deeps' plunges readers into a world where the American Revolution was quashed, and George Washington was 'liquidated' long ago, leaving America as Britain's most prized colony. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of an audacious engineering marvel: a proposed transatlantic tunnel, designed to cement the ties between the Motherland and her prosperous colonial dominion. This monumental undertaking, fraught with political intrigue and technological challenges, serves as the crucible for a story exploring loyalty, dissent, and the enduring spirit of independence. As the tunnel project progresses, hidden factions and simmering resentments threaten to destabilize the carefully constructed peace, forcing characters to confront the true cost of an empire's ambition and the dreams of a nation that never quite came to be.
