If you’ve ever asked what America would be like if things happened differently, then you’re in good company. In B.L. Blanchard’s “The Peacekeeper,” North America was never colonized and the U.S. and Canada don’t exist. The second in Lucinda Roy’s Dreambird Chronicle series, “Flying the Coop,” takes place in a near-future America where slavery is the norm. Moderated by Derrick Young.
