![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Never Cry Wolf was not kindly received by some human animals. But somehow I found myself losing interest in their bureaucratic and scientific buffoonery and becoming increasingly engrossed with what had originally been my secondary character-the wolf. With malice aforethought I deliberately set out to expose these new would-be rulers of our world or, rather, to let them expose themselves in the pages of a book. I also thought it might be fun to take the mickey out of the new high priests of our times, the Scientists, who now consider themselves the only legitimate guardians and interpreters of Truth. My original plan was to write a satire about quite a different beast-the peculiar mutation of the human species known as the Bureaucrat who has become the dictatorial arbiter of all our affairs. When I began Never Cry Wolf thirty years ago, I intended to cast the wolf in a rather minor role. ![]()
