Best alternate history I have ever read. It is quite amazing to see the entire world put their differences aside and come together to oppose the Domination. Especially so given the time period it takes place in.

Heh, I'd like to see Rommel fighting alongside Patton. That would be an interesting relationship.

so these african neitzcheian crazies actually unite the planet against them?

Well that seems to be the way it is going according to the timeline. Hell, the Pope enacted a crusade against them!

The idea of finding every single piece of classical literature is incredibly unlikely.

These links will help with implausible sections:

The whole bloody idea is somewhat implausible.

We decided to keep those sections because quite frankly we were having enough difficulty explaining how such a completely sociopathic society could develop that we needed everything that we could get to justify it. It's implausible, but then so is the whole timeline, even our's, admittedly. Our basic principle is to retain as much of the original Drakian timeline as possible with the proviso that we must be able to somehow rationalize it. Essentially being given a fixed set of data that we can't change (the Draka being as they are socially and culturally in 1918, since we decided to work from that point) we have attempted to more rationally explain how they got there. That said, we aren't changing the basic concept because the entire point of the stories is to demonstrate how the Draka (within the barest of sane limits) could be defeated and how it would take place.

I have some other ideas about the timeline, but the papyrus sack is the most glaring problem. I have a suggestion: what about just a few key papers, inspiring an overall trend of thought? The American revolutionaries in our timeline thought of the great classical Greeks and Romans much in their gov't; maybe for some avant-garde reason the Draka had their own revival prior to the recovery, and then the fad becomes a whole cultural force. The Draka think they were meant to find the papers.

thats a pretty neat idea, actually.
