Welcome to Sau'du

Sau'du is the home world of Rhiann of the Sauk; a contraction of Sauk and Pardu, the two sentient species of her world. This world and the post-apocalyptic world of FORCE are the creations of the author David Fields over the course of many years. Here you will find the early drafts of each story as it is written and edited for submission to a publisher for printing.

Feel free to comment on these stories. Tell me what you like -- and what you don't. And if you ask nicely, I might even make an e-version available for download.
