Description:

"In the author's mind, Jason Savage is the foundation empires are built on: the restless and courageous spirits that reject a safe and boring existence tilling the land and respecting the law for meagre returns, going instead out in the world to conquer some savage lands, bringing to the natives the joys of commerce and Western civilization. I am stressing this aspect of the story in order to warn potential readers not to expect a balanced and an in-depth analysis of the historical period depicted here and to be prepared for negative remarks about said natives:"
