Telnarian Histories

Encyclopedia : T : TE : TEL : Telnarian Histories


The Telnarian Histories (1991-1993) are a series of three relatively hard science fiction novels which express philosophical messages consistent with those of author John Norman. Its individual components:

  1. The Chieftain 1991
  2. The Captain 1992
  3. The King 1993
The Telnarian Histories were critically and popularly regarded as an unfortunate deviation from the Chronicles of Gor, perhaps due to a combination of Norman's unconvincing attempts to be a futurist (directly introducing a large number of Imperial Roman social customs and names of early Germanic tribes into his account of a declining galactic empire, for example) and his departing from many of the conventions of his already established Gor legacy.
