Written by [[User:Analytical Engine]] and hosted on [[AlternatehistoryAlternateHistory.com]], ''Her Diamond Heart'' is [[Pragmatic Adaptation|loosely based]] on [[The Peshawar Lancers]] by [[S.M. Stirling]] (and completely unautorisedunauthorised by said author).
 
Though it shares the book's point of divergence - a meteor shower bombarding the Northern Hemisphere in 1878 - the differences between the two start building up almost immediately. One particular difference is the survival of the United States of America and certain parts of Europe.

* [[Inferred Holocaust]]: There are several references to "ethnic liquidation", though this timeline has no separate term for ethnic cleansing and genocide- make of that what you will...
