Reception
Dave Langford reviewed Empire of the East for White Dwarf #52, and stated that "Swashbuckling fun, routine plot, boldly unsubtle characters, clever technology-based magic: my only quibble is that according to Book 3's revelations, the atomic dreadnought unearthed in book 1 ought not to have worked."
