Fantastic!! 5 stars!

The Wolf’s Hour is a perfect blend of fantasy, historical fiction and intrigue. The book is set during World War II and follows the journey of Michael Gallatin, a British secret agent that happens to be a werewolf.

Yes, you read that right. He's a werewolf. It might sound ridiculous, but it works!

Robert McCammon writes an action-packed plot with vivid descriptions and horrifying details from World War II. He takes this setting and puts it together with a complex and ruthless character that struggles with his past and inner beast.

I absolutely loved Michael Gallatin. What a fantastic main character!

In The Wolf’s Hour, Michael Gallatin must infiltrate Nazi-occupied France and gather information on a new weapon being developed by the Germans. The new weapon will change the direction of the war while stalling and destroying the Allies during D-Day.

I was enthralled with all parts of this book from the city atmosphere and Nazi occupied streets of Paris, to the dark and dense forest of Russia.

All the secondary characters were fantastic, the action felt like a Mission: Impossible film, and the werewolf elements were detailed and believable.

This book was impossible to put down and I’m so happy to finally get to this one!!

Pure pulpy fun. McCammon wrote some extremely lonnnnng guilty pleasure novels (like this one) that I enjoyed the heck out of back in the day. Going to read this and Swan Song again as soon as I can.

There was a bit too much blood and gore for my taste, but it was full of action and excitement, just what you would expect in a spy novel with a werewolf.

A delight to read!!!
My rating: 8.5/10

One of THE best Werewolf fictions. Period.
The nice build-up and fast-paced story keep you glued to the book. A definite page-turner. Michael Gallatin, a son, a man, a spy, a friend & a werewolf, is a well-written character, with adequate importance to side characters also.

Action-packed with surreal fighting scenes description. Must-Read if you are a fan of mythological folklores.

Story-wise and writing are way above another similar genre novels.

This was ludicrous, enjoyed it

McCammon is an appealing writer for beach or plane--an inviting tone, and an unexpectedly good head for freakish violence and written action sequences. And The Wolf's Hour has all that.

Honestly, I just can't get through this one. I keep putting it down for shorter, more literary works. Started it 8 months ago, and I'm only 2/3s of the way through. Good luck.

I recently read two other Robert McCammon books and was thoroughly engrossed in them. I was never able to put my finger on what about them kept me so engaged but I can say that this book didn't have that same quality.

At first I gave it a 5 because I loved it so much but after some careful internal review I realized that yes, there were some flaws that pull it down to more of a 4.4. After reading his epic Swan Song, I wanted to take a break from his huge door-stopper novels. I knew I'd be back eventually for another dive into a McCammon world and it happened a lot sooner that expected. Wolf's Hour was on sale and the premise was so nuts I had to give it a whirl. A werewolf secret agent in Hitler's Germany? WTH? It would take a very skilled writer to pull that off, fortunately, McCammon is that kind of writer. This book was brilliant from beginning to end. It gave me exactly what I wanted and that's it's only flaw lies. When dealing with a big event like WWII you have to be careful about the history and the lives of the people effected, especially the victims of the Nazis. I think the author did a great job with that but there are moments that are really horrorifying both historically and supernaturally. If you were wavering on this one, go ahead and read it, it's worth the price of the ticket. Big shout out to Simon Prebble, the narrator of the audio version. Be-yoot-tiful British accent and now one of my new favorite narrators.
