Abstract: In this paper we look at a special type of discrete subgroups of $PS{L}_{n+1}(BbbC)$ called Schottky groups. We develop some basic properties of these groups and their limit set when $n>1$, and we prove that Schottky groups only occur in odd dimensions, {it i.e.}, they cannot be realized as subgroups of $PS{L}_{2n+1}(BbbC)$.
