Prelude Blood Heat was, as the name suggested, a prelude to Blood Heat by Jim Mortimore. It did not appear in the published novel.
Summary
The Silurians Morka and Kchtaal kill primitive humans for fun. Their tribe's leader, Morka's father, tells Morka he must go hunting for primitive humans to take into the shelters to make up for the ones that were killed.
Morka and Kchtaal encounter a tribe which attacks them with rocks and sticks, killing Kchtaal and injuring Morka. He brings Kchtaal's body back to the city. They must evacuate the city because of an earthquake, and Morka must decide whether to bury Kchtaal there, leaving him behind, or carry him to the northern city.
