Colonization: Aftershocks is an alternate history and science fiction novel by Harry Turtledove.[1] It is the third and final novel of the Colonization series and the seventh installment in the extended Worldwar series.
Meanwhile, the nuclear attack on the Race's colony fleet from Second Contact is finally revealed. It was an American attack, ordered by US PresidentEarl Warren. When it is revealed, Fleetlord Atvar gives Warren a choice: dismantle the American space program, or allow the Race to nuke Indianapolis, Indiana, for revenge. To the surprise of all, Warren allows the Race to destroy Indianapolis and then kills himself, with US Vice PresidentHarold Stassen taking over. It is eventually stated that the reason Warren allowed the city to be destroyed over the space program was that the Americans were working on a starship that would allow them to journey to the Race's homeworld and to repay their visit to Earth.
Meanwhile, the Race itself undergoes large social unrest, due to the effects of ginger on their females. Drug addiction, the black market, prostitution, and the practice of marriage all arise from it, along with a reproductive system that is unregulated, much like that of humans.
