Author	Topic: The Domination of the Draka series

	I have just picked up S.M. Stirling's first Draka series book, "Marching Through Georgia", and am currently on page 199. I have to say that I have never seen a more despicable type of society put into print. While I knew what to expect from reading information about the series on other boards, it was still pretty sad to see a society that makes the Imperium of Man look good. How the hell could a society like that even WORK? I have a feeling in real-life as soon as they began their taking of the African territories and their serfdom that they would have gotten curb-stomped by Great Britain and other Countries that no longer dealt in slavery. Is it true in the later books they finally bite off more than they can chew? . Or do they continue to win by writers fiat and character/Nation stupidity? -----signature----- All hail the Imperial Remnant.

Raven, I did the same. No desire to read it. -----signature----- Darth Revan Fan Club: Technical Specialist Uncle Eddie was my favourite wrestler Gentle Giant owns my bank account.
