The Savages, if you don't know already, are post-human colonists who left Earth in massive sub-light colony ships. In the cold, dark void of space, they evolved or perhaps more accurately, devolved into the worst part of humanity. Each Savage group was different but the same in their hatred. When they arrived at the settled space thousands of years, humanity who did use FTL colony ships had created new settled planets with "civilization" - cities, law and order. This predates the Republic and the House of Reason we know from Season 1 of Galaxy's Edge. We learn more about the history of Tyrus Rechs and Casper Sulla who will become Goth Sullus. (This should not be a spoiler alert.) Anspach and Cole suggest that their fans to have read GE season 1 in order then the prequels (Savage Wars, Gods and Generals, and The Hundred) before proceeding to Season 2. However, the authors did not require the prequels. You just get more background. This is a great book but felt long. It did evoke the old saying from the Vietnam War: "We had to destroy the village to save it." The debate was over Rechs' prior conduct of destroying the planet to deny the Savages or trying to drive them off. That is what makes it great military scifi; you can explore the same issues in a different format without having to attend a military staff college. | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
