The Draka Appendices

CSS functionality missing: This site will appear closer to the author's intent in a browser that supports web standards, but it is accessible to any browser or Internet device. If you can read this, CSS (style sheets) is essentially disabled on this page, thus degrading the presentation but not losing any content. That's due to either the CSS file being unavailable from the server, your browser failing to understand it, or viewing in a medium besides a browser screen.

Been Framed?

If this page is displayed in a frame, which should happen only when the Geocities/Yahoo server puts them there and not because some other site is displaying my content, please reload this page to bust out of them.

They have more than one appendix?

The first 3 books by S. M. Stirling set in the alternate history of the Domination of the Draka all had copious appendices. These mother lodes of timeline information were unfortunately not included in the omnibus edition "The Domination". Anne Marie Talbott (AMT) apparently got permission from S. M. Stirling to provide these appendices on the 'net. At that time, I (Peter Karsanow) transcribed the last half of the appendices for AMT to host on her website, which used to be at http://www.mindspring.com/~atalbott/ but is now gone. When that site went away, those appendices were thought to be lost, and the time to re-transcribe them deterred me from putting them back online. But through the miracle of file backups, they were found, reformatted to my website design, and made available for your reading pleasure.

Notes to readers:
First mention of placenames not common to our timeline and that of the Domination are given with their equivalent in brackets, thus: Virconium [Durban, South Africa].
Spelling at odds with our usage is usually retained, to keep the flavor of a work authored in another timeline.
Some concessions to consistent use of line spacing and centering of headings in tables have been made. The original transcription into HTML was made for best results in MsIE 4.0 browsers; 6.0 is now the target browser, using XHTML 1.0 and CSS.
Permission to provide these appendices received from S. M. Stirling, the original author, on 09 March 2002. See below for further dissemination.
All page numbers in "Marching Through Georgia" (MTG) are from first edition, second printing. Page numbers for all appendices in "Under The Yoke" (UTY) are based on first edition, first printing. Page numbers for all appendices in "The Stone Dogs" (TSD) are based on first edition, first printing.

• Appendix 1: "Timeline of the Domination", pp. 372–393 of "Marching Through Georgia". (a version with minor flaws can be found at John Geis' site, was Appendix 1 at AMT's site) also includes the two pages at the start of "The Stone Dogs"
• Appendix 2: "Notes on the World of the Domination: Military", pp. 394–399 of "Marching Through Georgia". (was Appendix 2 at AMT's site)
• Appendix 3: "Notes on the World of the Domination: Currency and prices", pp. 399–400 of "Marching Through Georgia". (was part of Appendix 3 at AMT's site)

• Appendix 5: "Notes on the World of the Domination: Some Points of Difference", pp. 402–404 of "Marching Through Georgia". (was Appendix 4 at AMT's site)

• The "Timeline of the Domination of the Draka and the Terran Dispersal" appears on two un-numbered pages before page 1 of "The Stone Dogs". This was not at AMT's website IIRC, but it is included in the Geis historical timeline page. I've placed it at the end of Appendix 1.

If AMT ever brings her Draka site back, I'll be glad to let her host these appendices again. In the meantime, enjoy!
