I'm not doubting that I could find a situation to get a guy from. My problem is I'm not sure I could write the character well enough, what with the Race's mannerisms differing from humans' as they do. Or as I presume they do.
Of course, I have no way of knowing until I get my hands on the books. Reading the Wiki does not a canon expert make.
I was just wondering if anyone had a .rar of the series, or of any one of the books? Someone on 4chan mentioned it last night, which piqued my interest enough that I wound up on the Turtledove Wiki and spent all night reading.
Checked my Local Bookstore today, but they don't have any copies in stock. So I'm asking around on the 'Net.
I have Worldwar: Upsetting the Balance. The series is worth reading.
Well, the idea piqued my interest enough that I'm considering trying to write a character from there- Race would be cool but I doubt I could pull it off. Probably someone from the Reich, or maybe from America.
Of course, since I haven't actually read any of the books, any attempt at this will be greatly inhibited. Hence why I'm asking for .rars.

The traitors mostly have ginseng addictions-it's an addictive drug to them.
