Brilliant!! There is so much to like about this book. Lawrence Brown has done an amazing job in creating this very clever and unique story. I always enjoy a plot which is both entertaining and unpredictable, but most of all it was the characters that sets this book apart. Garth Miller is pushed further than any teenager could possibly imagine, and he comes up against some pretty unusual and interesting things.
Garth Miller was like any kid who didn’t have any parents and who had grown up as an orphan, he just wanted to know who they were and why he was all alone in the world. He finally found out that his mum had sacrificed herself to save him, and that his dad didn’t even come from the same planet. If that wasn’t enough to take in, he soon learnt that he was the son of a king and that great things were expected of him. Quite a daunting task for a boy that only just got by in school and lived in a group home with other kids just like him. Except he wasn’t like the other kids, as he had Atta Ra after him. A being from another planet that wanted his mind and what he possibly knew, and what made it infinitely worse was that Atta Ra was very determined and quite powerful being. Garth was lucky that he had others that could help him, but his whole life was about to change in the most extraordinary way. The Authors writing has really brought this story alive, and it’s certainly a book that I would strongly recommend. 5/5 Star Rating.

David: Savakerrva, Volume 1 (containing Book I and Book II) has it all: action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, myth, and romance--all in a wildly inventive, operatic universe. Together the two books are truly cinematic in scope, although they are very different types of stories.Reviewed in the United States on 31 December 2019
Book I introduces many of the main players and themes, and puts the protagonist, Garth, at the beginning of his Hero's Journey, where his persona is characterized more by his weaknesses than by his strengths. As he travels to a new world, and encounters life-threatening and life-changing situations, sometimes it seems as if he will never live up to his potential. But Garth's story is a tale of truth: change takes time, and in real life (or well-told fiction), people don't change at the pace of the modern reader's all-too-short attention span. This is a story that will reward the reader who sticks with it--and at the same time, a story that, occurring in a fantastically inventive, well-thought-out universe as it does, is never boring.
While Book I is dynamically varied in its pace, Book II brings the action to a fevered pitch, with a great extended chase scene worthy of Raiders of the Lost Ark, or Bullitt. The pace of Book II is breathless, relentless--yet it leaves enough room for a close understanding of Garth's character development, as he grows into and begins to embrace his role and destiny. And the conclusion of Book II is extremely well-written and satisfying (a rarity in fiction) while providing a springboard for further adventures.
Garth, together with the great villain, Atta Ra (a high-tech killer with an appreciation for his well-worn wooden rifle stock), and Eylahn, the appealing love interest who may prove to be Garth's betrayer--these are among the most memorable characters in science fiction. And there are many others in this great cast of warriors, scoundrels, role-models, and strong women. Garth must learn from all of them if he is to survive, and more importantly find himself and fulfill his destiny.
David: Savakerrva, Volume 1 is a great entry into the science fiction canon, and is wild fun and great sport for those age 9 to 90. (Not recommended for very young children as there are some scary themes, and serious actions with real consequences.) Five stars!
