Cliff was created with an innate understanding of countless vehicles; sit him inside anything and he can fly or drive it within minutes. Like most X-dogs he's also a capable soldier, strong and skilled, especially so at... Continue Reading →
This website may be getting a little confusing for the uninitiated. Essentially it's the official outlet for two unrelated novels. IMPERIUM LUPI - a dieselpunk, anthro epic, the first of which is predominantly about packs of wolves and hyena clans. DOGS of MARS: DFTM - a classic retro sci-fi starring anthro dogs of various breeds.... Continue Reading →

Imperium Lupi loosely translates as 'Empire of Wolves', but the title also alludes to the wonder mineral 'Imperium' which powers the advanced societies that have sprung up on the world of Erde.

The mighty Rafe Stenton from Imperium Lupi, painted by Mike Nash.
A decade has passed since the last Howler War and the City of Lupa stands peaceful again under the choking clouds of the Ashfall. The wild hyenas have been conquered, the little beasts remain subdued, and the wolf packs preserve their uneasy oligarchy thanks to the noxious power of imperium. However, new threats fester within... Continue Reading →
As the only known female X-dog, Raine, or Rai, has a special place in the hearts of 'the boys', who tend to adopt a chivalrous air around their sister and keep her from harm's way. They needn't; aided by that athletic Alsatian frame Rai's quite able to hold her own in most situations. Moreover, she... Continue Reading →
Madou Jua-mata is a hyena, and not just any hyena, but a Chakaa, the hyena equivalent of the wolfen Howlers. Taught to fight and wield imperium by the great Prince Noss himself, young Madou is stronger and wiser than a hyena his age should be, and brave to a fault too. Like most hyenas on...

Janoah Valerio is a Howler; a wolf able to wield the seemingly magical mineral imperium and turn its power against the enemies of the Republic. Her allegiance is to the Bloodfangs, the pack who first inducted her into their ranks when she was just a cub and thus gave her a chance at life. However,... Continue Reading →
Hugo 05 was meant to be the ultimate X-dog, and very nearly is. Technical across the board, he covers most bases, a one-dog engineering and computer-science lab. Hugo's also a capable soldier. Using a beefed-up Shiban body plan, O.T. created a compact super-marine, small, agile and strong, requiring less calories than a larger breed of... Continue Reading →

Uther Wildheart is another young Howler loyal to the Bloodfangs.

Tristan Donskoy hails from the Eisbrands, those shining knights of Lupa.

Tristan's star is rising, recognised and patronised as he... Continue Reading →
