Wulfston's Odyessy by Jean Lorrah and
Winston A. Howlett
Acknowledgments
The Savage Empire series is dedicated to the person who got me into professional sf writing and then
encouraged me to start my own series:

Jacqueline Lichtenberg.

This book, of course, is also dedicated to Winston Howlett, who came up with the original idea, the
African culture and the African characters, as well as collaborating on the book.

I would also like to thank the many readers who have sent comments about the first five books in the
series; I hope you enjoy this sixth book in the Savage Empire universe, If you've missed the previous
books, though, don't be afraid to start here. Each of the books can be read independently of the others.

If there are readers who would like to comment on this book, our publishers will forward letters to us. If
you prefer, you may write to us at Box 625, Murray, KY 42071. If your letter requires an answer, be
sure to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

All comments are welcome. I came to professional writing through fan writing and publishing, where there
is close and constant communication between writers and readers. Thus I shall always be grateful for the
existence of sf fandom, which has provided me with many exciting experiences, and through which I have
met so many wonderful people—including the coauthor of this book!

Chapter One
Wulfston, Lord Adept of the Savage Empire, stared out at the strange ship approaching his coastline,
several miles from the harbor. A merchant vessel by the look of her—so why did he see a one-vessel
invasion fleet threatening his shores? A chill that owed nothing to the cool summer evening ran down his
spine as the sunset's crimson painted the ship with shades of blood.

Gulls shrieked their disapproval at a boat being lowered from the anchored ship, the figures boarding it
putting the vessels size into perspective. Even from Wulfston's hilltop vantage point, it appeared huge and
imposing.

The bay stallion Wulfston rode whinnied nervously and stamped the ground, snorting a challenge. The
Lord Adept patted the beast's massive neck. "Easy, boy. We'll go down and see why these Visitors' are
sneaking ashore."
