Editorial Reviews

Product Description
“Slavery is a part of Islam . . . Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam.” —Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan, author of the religious textbook At-Tawhid (“Monotheism”) and senior Saudi cleric.Demography is destiny. In the 22nd century European deathbed demographics have turned the continent over to the more fertile Moslems. Atheism in Europe has been exterminated. Homosexuals are hanged, stoned or crucified. Such Christians as remain are relegated to dhimmitude, a form of second class citizenship. They are denied arms, denied civil rights, denied a voice, and specially taxed via the Koranic yizya. Their sons are taken as conscripted soldiers while their daughters are subject to the depredations of the continent’s new masters.

 

In that world, Petra, a German girl sold into prostitution as a slave at the age of nine to pay her family’s yizya, dreams of escape. Unlike most girls of the day, Petra can read. And in her only real possession, her grandmother’s diary, a diary detailing the fall of European civilization, Petra has learned of a magic place across the sea: America.

 

 



About the Author
Tom Kratman, in 1974 at age seventeen, became a political refugee and defector from the PRM (People's Republic of Massachusetts) by virtue of joining the Regular Army. He stayed a Regular Army infantryman most of his adult life, returning to Massachusetts as an unofficial dissident while attending Boston College after his first hitch. Tom is currently an attorney practicing in southwest Virginia. Baen published his first novel, A State of Disobedience and two collaborations with John Ringo in the Posleen War series, Watch on the Rhine and Yellow Eyes. His latest novels are A Desert Called Peace and its sequel Carnifex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unable to put it down, March 28, 2008
By Elliott L. Starr (Bloomingburg NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read the book in one day, it was just so compelling. The scenes of slavery under Muslim rule were reminiscent of a book I read in the '70's(I think) written by(IIRC) Kyle Onstott, which is why those scenes were so realistic(other people writing the same kind of thing would reinforce the descriptions).

I really got into the characters' heads, and could understand them. The plot moved and didn't get bogged down in details.

The contrast between the US as we are today, and what we (will) become under such an attack is one of my worst nightmares, and I hope, but am not very confident, that we can avoid it. I guess that will require a big change in our current political culture(not very likely at this time).

5.0 out of 5 stars Dual-distopia from an author who pulls no punches, March 27, 2008
By Ori Pomerantz (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has heroes from two dystopian societies.

Following a nuclear terrorist attack and the lack of government response, the US turned into a fascist empire intent on taking on the world. Those are the good guys.

The bad guys are the Caliphate, an extremist Muslim group that took over Europe because of high birth rates compared to the culturally European people. Muslim women are treated as property. Women who aren't Muslim are treated worse. We get the story from the perspective of one of those women, sold into slavery and prostitution.

This book is interesting and well written. It's also nightmare material. As usual, Tom Kratman pulls no punches - when he talks about evil, he talks about EVIL.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb techno-horror story, March 27, 2008
By Geoffrey Kidd (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'll say only two things about this book.

1. It gets five stars because it is a superbly written and horrifying techno-thriller that I just had to finish to see how it came out.

2. Don't go in unless you're prepared to meet people who consider child abuse and human slavery, two of mankind's oldest evils, to be religious duties.

Item 1 means it's very enjoyable reading. Item 2 means it will take a little time to recover equilibrium after finishing it.

It was worth the trip.
