There is a sequel, called Ark, which explains all. I really enjoyed this book, and thought it was a fascinating (albeit implausible) setting.

I found the book very enjoyable. The idea of a plague wiping out just Europe is probably quite implausible, though it isn't hard to get over that aspect. What did bug me was the analogous technology to OTL, though.

I hate how in the latest Michael Bay film what seems like the entire US military is unable to defeat the villlan, yet Batman and Robin can, and do at the last minute. General: "It's impossible, we can't defeat them. At this rate the entire Eastern Seaboard will be gone in a matter of days..."...

Sounds interesting, I look foward to more.

I have looked up Amazon, and they Drakon and Drakas!, but they do not have Marching Through Georgia, which is the first book in the series I think(?). I have never used EBay or Half.com, neither of those are very popular here; we have a national ebay like site called TradeMe. Hm, I just...

I am keen to read the Draka books, sounds like good post-finals easy-going fiction, however Borders does not stock them in New Zealand. Any suggestions on how to get them without paying a fortune?

I duno, I just don't see the point in changing the name. I mean, the USA didn't change it's name when Hawaii became a state for example, and it is still mostly European. That and the fact that I can't think of any good names that are not too convoluted.

That seems more like a personnal bias. What is so inherrently unsuitable about Turkey, or any other nation not already in the EU to not become a member state?

The vast majority of the population, and economic base is in Europe itself, and the non-European EU countries have not radically changed; they have representation in the Euro Parliament, have free trade, and customs unions with other EU nations and share a general political and foreign outlook...

The world in 2064. There has been an array of environmental catastrophes; India for example is now a basket-case after Bangledesh was flooded, and the millions of refugees moved into India. The decline of oil has also lead to chaos in many middle eastern countries, while others have been able...

Yeah, Namibia should be a part of South Africa, for example. Anyway WW3 ITTL was pretty much an especially brutal conventional war in Europe, though there was also fighting in Cuba, and parts of Africa and Asia. Things started getting nuclear, and before the world was ended the leaders of the...

Wow, that is a really awsome site! Did you do all the artwork yourself?

I always liked the evolution of the Hornheads and Rabbucks in Dougal Dixon's after man. The northward migration of grassland antelopes into boreal and broadleaf forest fascinated me, as did the replacement of equids and antelopes in subtropical/tropical realms. I used to love that book as a...
