Summary

The greatest conflict the galaxy has ever known....

They were the Savages. Raiders from our distant past. Elites who left Earth to create tailor-made utopias aboard the massive lighthuggers that crawled through the darkness between the stars. But the people they left behind on a dying planet didn't perish in the dystopian nightmare the Savages had themselves created: they thrived, discovering faster-than-light technology and using it to colonize the galaxy ahead of the Savages, forming fantastic new civilizations that surpassed the wildest dreams of Old Earth. 

Until the Savages came in from the Darkness.... 

When a Savage hulk lands on glittering New Vega, one of the crown jewels of the post-Earth galaxy, a coalition of planetary governments amasses their forces to respond to the post-human Savage Marines who've come to sack and enslave. But what the coalition forces find is something far more sinister than the typical Savage hit-and-run: this time, the Savages have come to stay.

Witness the intense beginning of The Savage Wars, the epic conflict, built into the lore of Galaxy's Edge, that will encompass over a thousand years of brutal fighting. Only the greatest military force in the galaxy can bring this war to an end...and the galaxy will never again be the same. 

Experience the beginning of the Legion. Experience the Savage Wars.

Featuring an unforgettable performance by Stephen Lang (Avatar, Gods & Generals), Jason Anspach and Nick Cole explore the thrilling, desperate, and brutal war that forever shapes the galaxy....

Outstanding listen

At long last the start of the savage wars and so much to absorb, how the legion started, who originated H8, who came up the war cry KTF and so much more, I loved this book, Stephen Lang narration was very good and he did Tyrus justice particularly after suffering Ray Porters interpretation (not to my liking but I know others enjoyed it) my only caveat with Mr Lang’s narration is when he takes on a female narrative, leaves a bit to be desired but that’s very minor, once again I state I loved this book and can’t wait for part 2

Savage wars: fantastic book

This book is part of the tyrus rex series. This book was a joy to listen to, full of action and the narrator was top notch as usual.

Brilliant from start to finish....

Having listened to the entire Galaxy's Edge Saga so far, I thought that could not be topped. This is even better. Stephen Lang just nails the story with a gritty captivating performance. Parts 2 and 3 already pre-ordered. It's that good.

The beginning of it all.

It reads like the laying out of a chessboard. Throughout the standalone story, you can see the origins of the Legion, the why 's, the wherefores and even the future battle cry's. KTF.

How To Start a Series and Kill Interest

Oh dear me!
I have no idea where the book and series go after the first third of the first book but I don't really care.
I enjoy stories of combat and fighting as much as any man my age brought up making WW2 airfix models and figures, playing with Napoleonic tin soldiers and generally growing up learning to not mention the War to any passing Germans.
However this endless mush of make believe combat left me bored, and despairing of any plot developing at all.The fantasy warfare that starts the book and goes on and on and on, is so dull and inconsequential to the reader that I had to quit completely rather than go on listening to another minute.
How do the writers imagine I am going to care a Fourpence Ha'penny Farthing, if they have not spent any time letting you get to know and care about either the characters or the situation.
Yes I have read the main series and I was hoping to hear about Tyrus Rex some more but really be prepared to struggle with at least the first half of this book.
If it gets better I don't know I will likely return the book and never find out, because at this point I am too disinterested to care.

Cheesiest narration I've ever heard...

How did you get the narrator so wrong? I literally feel sick listening to this dude... He turns everything in to a laughable mash up of sarcastically flavoured boredom... I can imagine him saying "Oh yeah" in a disturbing and seedy way at the end of every paragraph... There's one good thing he does... Gives a slight pause before going into character, but the characters are all pointless to me 10 hours in now, so I'm frankly asking for a refund... I have no idea what's going on with the book cos I can't stomach to listen to it so I am not following...

I don't know the story with R.C. Bray... I don't know why you haven't asked him to do all the books... It makes sense because each narrator brings in their own flavour to the stories... Maybe Bray is asking for too much money idk... but this new guy is a complete joke and I will never buy another from your series with him narrating... I'm sorry but that's just how strongly I feel about it... Without Bray, it's never going to be the story you set it out to be... Not for me anyway...

A really generic military sci fi

First time into the series, not sure if coming from the other books would have helped. Just could not get on with it. Boring characters, about as by the numbers as possible. The setting doesn't make much sense and the enemy is capital E evil so you don't have to feel bad about indescriminant killing.
The narrator does a decent job with what he's got to work with.

Amazing insight

A great insight into the back story of the savage wars.

The start of kill team ice and the legion.

There is a small inconsistency about Wildman’s back story.

And I would love to see back story from even longer before. We know some of that from Galaxy Edge but I would like more depth.
