We are delighted to announce the arrival of PDF Drive Premium with unlimited
cloud space and exclusive experiences. Poka Yoke (Mistake Proofing).

In this omnibus of Marching Through Georgia, Under the Yoke and The Stone Dogs,
S.M. Stirling traces the rise of the Domination of the Draka and its long
struggle with the United States and the American-led Alliance for Democracy.

In this alternate history, the Americans who rejection the Revolution did not
scatter to the four winds and Canada; a slight change in the course of events
brought them to the new Crown Colony of Drakia instead. Starting with the Cape
of Good Hope and soon encompassing the whole of the right subcontinent of
Southern Africa. Soon burning resentment and limitless ambition spurred the
expansion of the people who called themselves the Draka. There they built the
Domination, an empire of inconceivable wealth and savagery, founded on conquest
and slavery. It grew until it spanned the African continent, and then in the
Great War of the early twentieth century, to include much of Asia as well.

In the Eurasian War, Germany and the Soviet Union exhausted each other and the
Draka stepped in, leaving the Domination triumphant from the English Channel to
the China Sea. Only the United States and its allies stood between the Draka and
their dream of an enslaved humanity. By the 1990s, the Draka commanded the stuff
of life itself, mastering biotechnology until they could create new species at
will. And transform themselves into the Master Race of their savage dreams. The
Alliance for Democracy traveled another path, into the mysteries of the physical
universe and the technology based on such knowledge. The final confrontation
would settle which was more powerful. Or leave the earth a lifeless rock where
nothing human remained but bones.

The Draka series themselves easily earn 5 stars, some of the best alternate
history/military science fiction of the last thirty years. This ominbus is a
failure however, due to the fact it excludes the timelines and appendices that
were so vital to the setting, and such a treat for fans of the genre. These
timelines should be made available as an update, or make the original versions
of each novel an option for those who want to purchase the series in e-book
formt--I would have paid for each book separately were those appendices
included. Was this comment helpful?
