The Aventine Empire is crumbling under the attacks of savages armed with strange and dangerous powers. Exiled from the empire, a powerful telepath named Leonardo is captured by the savages, and finds himself in unfamiliar territory.

Savage Empire

This is the first book in the Savage Empire Series. From page 1 to the end, this book stays interesting and enjoyable. I have read this book several times and will keep it in my library for future use. It is a story of two empires, each with different extrasensory abilities, whom fear each other. I hope that someday, the entire series will be reprinted. Jean Lorrah is a gifted writter.

One of the best Fantasy series ever written.

The entire Savage Empire series is one of the most entertaining, well thought-out series I've ever read. Although lacking the humor of some other popular stories (the Jhereg books and the Belgariad come to mind) this series kept me reading to the point that I devoured 6 out of 7 books over a weekend. Savage Empire is a little easier reading than Jhereg and not as long as, say, Pawn of Prophecy. These stories are so well written that events in the seventh book actually disturbed me to some degree. THAT'S good writing!
