About Henry Sparrowhawk:

Greetings, friends of Akkadis! Welcome to the Henry Sparrowhawk author page. Five years ago I gave up my rather boring job to do the work I had always wanted to do: writing. The result was the Atkoi War Trilogy and the Atkoi Slave Girl series. The new Spoils of War series contains rewritten, edited and extended stories from these books, divided into novella length episodes. I began writing because I love good quality bdsm / domination literature. I wanted to create believable characters that the reader can empathise with, realistic situations and a good storyline. I also love the old science fiction classics: Asimov, Poul Anderson, Heinlein and Frank Herbert. 'Spoils of War' begins in the year 2999. Man has colonised the stars: his vast Empire encompasses a thousand inhabited worlds, but its rulers have become weak and complacent. On its borders are the Atkoi tribes, descendants of human settlers centuries before, who have long since reverted to barbarism. Now, for the first time, the Atkoi are united under a single charismatic ruler, Rurik, Great Kzam of All the Atkoi. As the Empire's ruling elite try to appease the Atkoi, their demands grow steadily greater. On remote planets on the fringes of the Empire, the innocent victims pay a terrible price for Empire's weakness. The Kzam has promised his followers rich pickings from the wealthy conquered worlds: land, plunder... and beautiful women, many of whom are destined for the slave markets of the rogue planet Akkadis, notorious for its slave brothels, harems and its Arena, where slave girls perform in degrading public performances. The 'Spoils of War' series follows the stories of some of those slave girls as they submit to the realities of their new lives and adapt to their circumstances. If this sounds like something from antiquity, from the days of Attila the Hun, perhaps, or Genghis Khan, you are of course right. But it is also happening today. And if man ever does conquer the stars, it will still happen. Civilisation is not inevitable. It rises and falls. Perhaps the whole of human history is the story of the conflict between civilisation and barbarism. Enjoy reading the books! And do please write a review or make a comment. I welcome such feedback. I am particularly interested to know which characters and situations you enjoyed reading about most. With best wishes, Henry Sparrowhawk
