complete blood of earth trilogy

The world of the Blood of Earth trilogy, grim as it is, has basis in historical truth. Some historical and cultural changes within the books were deliberate. Other issues are likely the result of my ignorance; I did what I could to remedy that condition, but errors are inevitable.

I used many online resources, as well as the books listed below. Inclusion on this list doesn't necessarily mean I endorse the material or think it's an enjoyable read, but it does mean I acquired some useful information.
