Cahena
Manly Wade Wellman
This is a historical
novel based on the life of the warrior queen known as the Cahena, who
lived around the beginning of the eighth century in Northern Africa and
the Near East and led her people, the Moors, against the Moslems. The
novel is told from the point of view of the Saxon career soldier named
Wulf who comes to be the Cahena's right-hand man and eventually her
lover. The story moves smoothly through its numerous military campaigns
and romantic complications. Wellman has written a superior historical
adventure (with a bit of fantasyan encounter with a vampire) that,
despite occasionally being too talky, always remains interesting.
