The Stone Dogs is the third of four books of S.M. Stirling's alternate history series, The Domination. During the cold war between the Alliance and the Domination, Frederic and Marya work for the OSS as spies and assassins. During the Draka conquest of India, Marya Lefarge is taken prisoner. She becomes a serf to Yolande Ingolfsson, who after torturing her repeatedly with a neural weapon, forces her to become a "brooder" (i.e. a surrogate mother) for her offspring, Gwendolyn. Yolande also swears vengeance on Fred Lefarge after he kills her lover, Myfanwy Venders, during the Indian Incident. As both superpowers expand into space, they prepare different doomsday weapons. The Alliance's weapon is a computer virus ("comp plague") secretly planted in Draka military computers by spies; the Draka's is a biological virus called the Stone Dogs that causes infected personnel to go insane. Yolande discovers Marya, who has contacted the OSS, planting the comp-plague and allows her to escape with knowledge of the Stone Dogs. This forces her uncle, Archon Eric von Shrakenberg, to use the weapon prematurely. The Draka win the resulting conflict; however, their incomplete victory leads to Eric negotiating an arrangement whereupon the Alliance is allowed to launch its generation ship "The New America" and the remaining Alliance survivors in space are granted limited Draka citizenship. ** Enter Series Index : 03 of 05 Calc Series Group : Draka All Identifiers : amazon:0671720090, ff:s/s-m-stirling/stone-dogs, google:EseNAAAACAAJ, isbn:9780671720094 Test Search : Stone Dogs / S.

In this Cold War there can be no compromise, no detente, no happy tearing down of walls, only ultimate enmity.

The Alliance, using its superiority in computer technologies, is preparing a master stroke of electronic warfare. The Draka, supreme in the ruthless manipulation of life's genetic code, have a secret weapon of their own. Both sides await only the right moment to strike.

From the manor-houses of the Draka aristocracy and the streets of an alternate-world New York to the farthest reaches of the Solar System, the Draka and their enemies carry on a struggle whose victor will decide the fate of humanity - to be forever free or forever slave.
