Marek Kai Tumiduss, a citizen of Great Pompeii, from childhood dreamed of a military career. A break with his father, his mother’s tears, and his grandfather’s silent reproach—nothing could change the boy’s decision. His career did take shape, but not the way young Mark expected. A cadet in boarding infantry; a fortunate duelist, an unfortunate prisoner in the guardhouse. An ordinary soldier, the scourge of the “grandfathers” with swords in their buttonholes; a frequent visitor to the infirmary; the killer of the chieftain Gnat. A junior officer of foreign intelligence, the third navigator of the “Savage,” who changed his name into the nickname Knut. A man with two lives, and both of them, it seems, are coming to an end…

Mark’s uncle, Legate of the Guards Tumiduss, could be proud of his nephew. But can the nephew be proud of his uncle—a traitor to the homeland, stripped of racial status?

“Little Wolf”—the first book of the new novel trilogy by G. L. Oldi “Dikari of Oikumene.” This is the long-awaited continuation of the cycle begun by the novels “Oikumene” and “The City and the World.” The reader will find a unique cosmos populated by energians, barbarians, technologists—and anti-sans, the titans of the universe. The heroes of the previous epics were the artist Luciano Borgotta and the doctor Regina van Frassen. The hero of “Dikari of Oikumene” is the soldier Mark Kai Tumiduss. You could say, a professional hero. Are you clear, Knut?

Certainly!
