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.
