The Atlantis series imagines that the eastern seaboard of North America broke away from the mainland millions of years ago, creating a separate continent with its own ecology. When Europeans discover Atlantis, they colonize it much like the real Americas, but with unique wildlife and different political developments.

The core trilogy follows Atlantis from colonization through revolution and into the era of slavery and abolition. Opening Atlantis (2007), The United States of Atlantis (2008), and Liberating Atlantis (2009) mirror American history through this alternate lens. Additional novels and short fiction expand the world further.
