Mark Caius Tumidus, a citizen of the Great Pompilius, dreamed of a military career since childhood. The break with the father, the tears of the mother, the silent reproach of the grandfather - nothing could change the young man's decision. The career took shape, but not in the way young Mark had hoped. Boarding infantry school cadet; lucky duelist, unfortunate prisoner of the guardhouse. An ordinary fighter, a thunderstorm of "grandfathers" with swords in their buttonholes, a regular in the infirmary; killer of ataman Gnat. Junior foreign intelligence officer, the third navigator of the Savage, who changed his name to the nickname Knut. A man with two lives, and both seem to be coming to an end...
Guard legate Tumidus, Mark's uncle, could be proud of his nephew. Can a nephew be proud of his uncle, a traitor deprived of racial status?
"Savages of the Ocumene" is a continuation of the cycle begun by the novels "Ocumene" and "To the City and the World".
