I will not hesitate to label ASH a modern masterpiece of speculative fiction. It is a work of literature that transcends genre and offers up an intriguing and highly entertaining exploration of history as a state of potentialities.

A superior work of speculative fiction, I'm surprised it's not mentioned more often in modern discussions of the genre.
