Book number two of a five book alternate history military fiction series

Reviewed in the United States on 27 April 2022

Book number two of a five book alternate history military fiction series. I read the well printed and well bound MMPB published by Baen in 1990 that I bought used on Amazon. I read the fourth book in the series recently and am now back tracking. I have acquired the third book in the series and am reading the third book now.

After the American revolutionary war, the British loyalists in the colonies mostly escaped to Canada. But in an alternate timeline, those 90,000 British loyalists were exiled to the southern tip of Africa at the direction of George Washington from 1783 to 1786. They took over the Dutch colony of South Africa as other unwanted groups joined them and merged into their slave holding culture. They eventually called themselves the Domination of Draka.

By 1942, the Domination of Draka is 36 million free peoples and 500 million slaves XXXXXX serfs, one quarter of the people on the planet Earth. They have spread throughout the entire continent of Africa to Egypt, the middle east (Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia), Turkey, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, and they have just completed taking Italy and then Germany. The rest of Europe fell quickly. They have used their incredible mineral riches to develop and purchase the best weapons in the world. And they have nuclear weapons that they used to destroy the German armies, not understanding of the dangers of fallout on their own armies.

"Service to the State" is the typical saying from one Draka citizen to another citizen. Their reply is "Glory to the Race". These sayings exemplify all you need to know about the Draka. Their goal is to subjugate the entire human race.

By 1948, the Domination of Draka is 40 million free peoples and 1,000 million slaves XXXXXX serfs, one half of the people on the planet Earth. The Domination has subjugated the entire continents of Africa, Europe, and most of Asia. The only areas not subjugated are North America, South America, Australia, Great Britain, India, and Japan, The Alliance of Free Democracies. The Domination and the Alliance are in a cold war with spying and underground activities that go along with such while the Domination is putting Europe to the yoke.

Not the best book I ever read

Reviewed in the United States on 19 January 2017

Verified Purchase

Not the best book I ever read, but probably Stirling's best series, after reading the whole frigging Emberverse the more limited scope of the Draka is a relief. Less polished earlier in his career, but the same elements that make all his stuff page-turners is all there. Once I start one of these, I can't put it down until I'm done, so can't make any plans for a couple days!

Fairly Interesting

Reviewed in the United States on 8 February 2014

Verified Purchase

An interesting read, although I find it very hard to believe a slave society would defeat a free nation, even though conscript armies have conquered many times in history. The conscripts always had opportunity to prosper when they won. In this society, they have little opportunity, and I believe such people would not try very hard to win. What difference does it make who owns a person if they do not own themselves. Why would they give their best effort? as for the book, It came quickly, and it was well packaged. The book was as described and I am very happy with it.
