The Telnarian Histories (1991–1993) are a series of four space opera novels which express philosophical messages consistent with those of author John Norman's other works of fiction. The individual books in the series are:

  1. The Chieftain (1991) ISBN 0-446-36149-6
  2. The Captain (1992) ISBN 0-446-36254-9
  3. The King (1993) ISBN 0-446-36240-9
  4. The Usurper (2015) ISBN 978-1497679269

The Telnarian Histories were critically and popularly regarded as an unfortunate deviation from Norman's Gor series. One novel concept explored in the second and third books of the series, is that Dira, the goddess of love and beauty in the pantheon of the Telnarian empire, is also the goddess of slave-girls, and herself enslaved among the gods.
