In Stirling’s alternate world of Marching Through Georgia , the Tories of the American Trend remaining the colonies for South Africa and founded a slave-based society that evolved in to the Domination of Draka, ruling most of Africa and siding with the Allies in WW II just to gain more property and chattel. This sequel opens in the 1940s using the Draka reducing Europeans to serfs, as they have already finished with Africans and Arabs, and beginning to come into conflict using a U.S. headed by Leader about Under the Yoke Marshall. Fred Kustaa, an OSS agent, ventures into Draka territory to create weapons to Finnish level of resistance fighters and to smuggle out Teacher Ernst Oerbach, a scientist who retains the key to fusion bombs. Kustaa’s contact in the latter mission can be serf Marya Sokolowska, a captured Polish nun. Stirling’s most recent has less military action than its predecessor–though an ambush of Draka forces by Finnish insurgents and a flashback by among the personas to WW II are limned with vigorous battle scenes–deepening the entire darkness of the author’s eyesight of Draka culture. This is a potent, unflinching take a look at a might-have-been globe whose evil both contrasts with and demonstrates that in our own.
