	    REMEMBER GETTYSBURG! by Kevin Randle & Robert Cornett
		     Charter, 1988, 1-55773-089-X, $3.50.
		      A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper

     This book seems to be aimed 1) those who like war stories packaged as
science fiction, and 2) Civil War buffs.  It consists mostly of long
detailed descriptions of Civil War battles (which may or may not be
accurate).  There is an alternate history frame, disposed of in a couple of
paragraphs and then brought back only to provide additional suspense.  The
characters are not well developed; apparently the authors assume the reader
will have read their first book, REMEMBER THE ALAMO!  And at the end comes
the now all too familiar twist that...there will be a sequel.  Blech!
