[3]) The Draka continued their enslaving any new intelligent species they discover, using genetic engineering to produce a meek and submissive version of it.

The book starts in 2442 A.D. somewhere in North America – thinly inhabited and with scattered remnants of the Americans having been quite literally bombed into the Stone Age – where Gwendolyn Ingolfsson is ending a camping and hunting trip.

On her way back to the civilization she contacts legate Tamirindus Rohm, who sends her to the Reichart Station to oversee the creation of a wormhole generator.

The event is detected by the USSNF President Douglas, which is an FTL starship of the United States of Samothrace utilizing wormhole technology and is positioned a tenth of a lightyear outside Pluto.

Detective Henry Carmaggio arrives later on the crime scene where he learns that most of the victims died from blunt trauma or as a result of cutting blows from a bladed weapon honed to an unnatural sharpness.

In an effort to make her stolen drug money look legitimate she decides to go to Cali, Colombia where she recruits her first followers.

Gwendolyn also starts a company named IngolfTech to use as a front to sell high technology to raise the capital necessary to build the equipment necessary to contact her Earth.

Afterwards Carmaggio and Jennifer marry and take over IngolfTech, thanks to Lafarge hacking Gwen's records and creating a fake will.

A framing device included in the collected edition, The Domination, is set several years after the events of Drakon.
