Synopsis

Gwendolen Ingolfsson, hurled into a parallel Earth filled with billions of unaltered, antique humans when the molehole experiment she was working on malfunctioned, is very clear where her duty lies. As a member of the Draka, genetically engineered to dominate
crude, unmodified humans, her task is to build a molehole device in this universe and establish a bridgehead for the Race to come through. It had been some time since the Draka last had such an opportunity for conquest … As for Detective-Lieutenant Henry
Carmaggio, he'd seen plenty of blood, both in Cambodia and in twenty years of police work. But he'd never seen anything like this. Something was loose in his city, something inhuman that walked among us, killing with the easy precision of a leopard in a flock of
sheep. And unless he could track it down it would kill and kill again—until the whole world was its hunting ground.

Goodreads review by Duffy

I liked this one the best of the Draka books. In the 2400s, in the Draka universe, Gwen Ingolfsson gets too close to a wormhole experiment that goes awry. Thus, she gets shifted to an alternate Earth: ours, in the late 1990s. Well, maybe not ours exactly. I'd like to think she got shifted to the alt......more

There is a woman like species. She is genetically spliced with dragon DNA. She travels from the future. She has to protect a weak man. They do all these battles with wolf people dog people aliens. Lots of action space ship battles. Combat inside ships and on alien planets. They defeat the bad guy bo......more

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this volume the most of the Draka series. As others have mentioned, maybe because it was more focused and "small," but I found it all quite engaging. That's not to disparage the series as a whole, which I did quite enjoy. Stirling created an alternate history, soon blending i......more
