"The Domination of the Draka did nothing wrong."
-Actual said by real life human beings to the author of the series.
I owned all the books at one point at had a select group of fanfics on a certain bookmark group, WAY back when, however I "defended" them years before I acquired the books, largely just to be an edgelord. "Drakon" would be the best of the lot, its genetically engineered Uberfrau vs cybernetically enhanced Assassin set in a "Modern World". Perfect Sci Fi/HBO minseries schlock. "The Stone Dogs" being 2nd place for transforming into Slower then Light Space Opera. Anyways, point being, I'd usually say something like "read the books" to fully understand a comment I'm about to make, but the books are hard as diamond to come by. Been out of print for decades. Which made me regret donating them to a library after a single read, or at least, to the library I donated them to. I have reread the Discworld at least once, Worldwar series twice, HP too many times, and other unrelated books a few times. Only read those once. For a reason. It wasn't actually a good read, it wasn't....well yes they were in fact horrible, but the quality wasn't bad. It's just....heartbreaking, and the titanic cultural shift is never properly explained or supported, its one of the serious weaknesses that isn't given enough attention.
You have to understand something. As written, exactly as written, no implications and suppositions or theory crafting, you have to understand something. The humans in Drakaverse, other then the titular villain protagonists themselves? They are dumb, DDUUUUUMMMMBBBBB. It is hard to feel bad for them, they are that fucking dumb. A proper and well written PoD that results in a decent by plot suggestion "stomp" would involve the proto AFD waging a nuclear war when India gets attacked, and fighting to the hilt. The series could strongly benefit from a remake, but it would start with the British Parliament turning EEEEEEE VOOOL during the Revolutionary War and go from there. Because if there is one thing far too many an Alt History community completely forgets, is that prior to 1914 inverse, the "Domination" is literally just the biggest chunk of the British Empire. So you would be going to war with the British Empire.
Of course thats assuming one was going for something as close to the original series as possible, otherwise you would end up writing the backstory for a Super South Africa with Apartheid being a long present caste system, instead of something formalized post 2nd World War, the gets nukes and an ICBM delivery system by the 60s/70s, draw some lines on a map, and you call it a day.
From Angola to Mozambique( yes I know, it was Portuguese), then lump in what the British had in Eastern Africa short of Egypt and Sudan, and add all the bits on the Eastern Coast they didn't have. Add a few more colonists over time until the Revolutionary War, then dump some of the Canadians there, then say fuck it to developing Australia for British interests and dump convicts there, and without Canada or Australia, only one place to go if you want to stay British, unless you write New Zealand as a British colony anyways. Add a little paying EIC members in African land and paying some Hessian mercenaries in the same and recruiting for wives(Ads for dating and marriage are fairly old), mix them together as a megacorp mercenary company that sticks around, mix it in with corrupt money politics, with an added bit of racism and "encouraged" labor, throw crazy women with Naldorrsen as their last name in the loony bin, and Poof!
Racist Africa land, now with fewer fucks to give, and more nukes. A lot more nukes. Jesus, thats a lot of nukes. And where did they get all that state of the art ICBM tech? Fuck it, we'll just blockade them forever and keep a satellite watch on them for anything that looks off while garrisoning in Egypt, the borders of the Congo and the Middle East just in case they try something.
