Why read it?

1 author picked The Trumpets of Tagan as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This was my first introduction to a series that was started in the early 70s. I love Star Trek. And the author once wrote a few episodes of that show. This book steered away from stereotypes. And I fell in love with Marik, an alien taken from royalty to occupation to servitude within the system who conquered his home. Yet to see his rise through the ranks and how he became respected and honored…this is a book I’ve read countless times. 

From Daphne's list on captured my ADD personality.
